Andrée Hudson was determined to buy 4766 S. Fillmore Court in Cherry Hills Village in 2014 when she had a chance to see it before it went on the market.
Her husband was out of town on a fishing trip and couldn’t be reached by phone, but she convinced the realtor to make an offer anyway.
“I slipped in and got this house,” she said. “I knew it was going to be my house.”
In the decade since buying it, the Hudsons have remodeled the mansion by replacing windows, installing foldable glass walls, replacing marble floors with engineered rustic hardwoods, expanding and upgrading the kitchen, adding a main floor movie theater with sound-proofed walls, and adding a covered patio and outdoor kitchen.
In the walk-out basement lower level, they added an apartment-like living space with a kitchen and a bedroom, and an en suite bath. They also installed a gym and a spa with a steam room and a 12-person hot tub.
The property already had a pool and tennis court, but the Hudsons added pickleball lines to the latter. The home also has an oversized five-car garage.
Andrée Hudson, an abstract artist, said the home’s vaulted ceilings and natural light provide plenty of space to showcase her artwork.
Now that their children are grown, the Hudsons are building a new home and are ready to downsize.
They listed their 14,416-square-foot, seven-bedroom, 10-bath gated home on 2.4 acres in the Cherry Hills Farm neighborhood for $10.3 million.
Pam Helm and her partners, Patti Helm and Libby Weaver of Helm Weaver Helm, manage the listing. Pam Helm said the home is a rare opportunity to buy a resort-style retreat that offers luxury and privacy.
“It’s a unique and special entertainer’s home,” she said.
She anticipates the ideal buyer is a family who wants four bedrooms with en suite baths on the main floor, empty nesters who want a home where they can primarily live on the main floor, or a professional athlete who wants privacy and security.
“It would be great for someone who wants their privacy,” Hudson said.
Andrée and Peter Hudson — a physician, entrepreneur, and investor — bought the home from its original owners, Donald and Susan Sturm, in May 2014 for $3.3 million, according to property records.
The Sturms used Alpert Homes to build it in 1982. Donald Sturm, who died in August, was a banker and philanthropist, and is the namesake of the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law.
