Designed by renowned architect Don Ruggles, an expert in British and classical architecture, the residence at 1 Tenaya Lane in Cherry Hills Village is reminiscent of an English country manor with the unique added feature of being one of only three houses located on a private road adjacent to the Cantitoe subdivision in Cherry Hills.
“While living in London in the 1990s, the owners of the residence at 1 Tenaya Lane developed a deep admiration for a specific type of English architecture found in country homes in the area,” said LIV Sotheby’s International Realty broker Todd Groth. “Upon relocating to Denver, their dream had always been to build their own version of that English manor here in Cherry Hills Village. The collaboration with Don Ruggles resulted in a uniquely distinctive home from a specific time and place. A tremendous amount of thought has gone into every room and design feature in this home.” A gravel driveway leads visitors to the 16,437 square foot estate that is situated on a level, 2.5-acre plot that is enveloped by a perimeter of mature trees, affording residents maximum privacy from just two neighboring homes. This stately home is an entertainer’s paradise. The spine of the home is the main level hallway, which serves as the hub to several entertaining zones. The home features a large living room, a 2-story library with vintage connecting spiral staircase, and a formal dining room capable of accommodating large groups. Elegant French doors connect these entertainment areas to lush outdoor gardens, creating a seamless flow from interior to exterior living. A gourmet kitchen features two-tone cabinetry with custom stained glass inserts, dual ovens and dishwashers, a 6-burner gas range, and more. Granite countertops provide abundant prep space for entertaining large parties. A family room adjoins the kitchen with wooden beams accenting the vaulted ceiling, and a grand fireplace, inspired by a period piece painstakingly created with over 300 individual pieces by a master woodworker, is the focal point of the room. The home’s 5 bedrooms are all located on the second story, which also features a bonus room, a laundry room, and a large finished area suitable for conversion to a variety of uses such as a luxury dressing room or a private yoga and meditation retreat. The master suite boasts a balcony with expansive mountain views to the Southwest. The upstairs hallway features abundant natural light, and it was specifically designed as a gallery to house a sizeable collection of art.At 16,437 square feet, with 5 bedrooms and 8 baths, 1 Tenaya Lane, Cherry Hills Village, Colo., is offered at $5,250,000.
