Carmelo Anthony Lists At A Loss In Denver

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

It's been an exciting off-season for NBA basketball this year and the players are being watched carefully. The news that Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony and his TV-personality fiancee La La Vazquez have put their Littleton, Colorado home on the market has basketball watchers talking. But according to the Denver Post, Nuggets fans have no reason to worry. He still has a year on his contract and has said his agent is negotiating for a three-year extension.

Listing agent John Fitzpatrick of The Kentwood Co. in the Tech Center speculated that the athlete may be selling to get a little closer to town. His family situation has changed since he bought the home in 2007 from Qwest exec Stephen Jacobsen, who had the estate custom built in 2002. It looks Anthony will be set to take a big loss even if he gets list price. He paid $12 million but is only asking $9.5 million for the six-acre property in the Polo Ridge Estates gated community. The property has a 21,000-plus- square-foot main house, a 5,500-square-foot barn and paddock, and a 1,600-square- foot guest house. The main home has eight bedrooms, a wine cellar, recording studio, home theater, gym and a pool.
