The bidding war is still a thing.
Owners Anita Haley and Kenneth Weiner, represented by Helm Weaver Helm of Compass-Denver, listed a Country Club mansion for $8.5 million on May 19 and sparked a bidding war. It sold for $9.25 million four days later, the most ever for a home in the neighborhood.
The couple’s 9,000-square-foot home at 450 Westwood Drive sold to TDDK Revocable Trust, represented by Blake O’Shaughnessy with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
The six-bedroom, nine-bath mansion built in 1942 includes a swimming pool and a one-lane bowling alley. It features marble flooring, chandeliers, and a formal sitting room with hand-painted beams, oversized French doors, custom-stained Leonardo Da Vinci Glass window art panels and a hand-carved stone wood-burning fireplace.
The six-bedroom, nine-bath mansion built in 1942 last sold for $4.9 million.
Haley and Weiner bought the mansion in 2012 for $4.9 million, and Haley focused on remodeling it to return its Tudor glory.
She traveled to England, France and Italy for antiques like a 17th-century tapestry, stained glass doors and light fixtures from the Selfridge Hotel in London.
Haley said she and her husband, a retired psychiatrist and CEO of the Eating Recovery Center, reluctantly decided to sell the house after moving to Florida.
The luxury home includes a one-lane bowling alley.
“Someone told me once that you’re the custodian of a house, not the owner. At the time, I thought that was a silly thing to say, but now I realize we are just the custodians of these great houses and hopefully the future owners will help these great houses survive.”
She knows the new owners, a family with children, plan to remodel and modernize. While the thought of change breaks her heart, she hopes the new owners will “make it as magical in their own tastes.”
Pamela Helm with Helm Weaver Helm said the realtors anticipated an out-of-state buyer would purchase the luxury home. Instead, most potential buyers lived in Country Club or Hilltop and wanted to move to a more prestigious property.
“Everybody had walked by the house and heard rumors about what it looked like inside,” she said. “We didn’t know how long it would take to sell. We were surprised it sold so quickly.”
The home’s formal sitting room features hand-painted beams, oversized French doors, custom-stained Leonardo Da Vinci Glass window art panels and a hand-carved stone wood-burning fireplace.
