The chairman of Fentress Architects, the firm that designed DIA’s tented terminal, purchased a $7.85 million mansion in Cherry Hills Village last month.
The 14,239-square-foot home at 3 Churchill Drive was the most expensive home to sell locally in January.
Agatha Kessler purchased the home on Jan. 19 under the entity Magic Coco LLC, according to property records. In addition to serving as chairman, she is the wife of Fentress Architects’ founder and CEO Curtis Fentress, according to previous media coverage.
Fentress founded the firm in 1980, and since then has completed multi-million dollar projects around the world, including the Colorado Convention Center, Empower Field at Mile High stadium and Incheon International Airport in South Korea, according to its website.
The founder also designed the layout of his former flat on the 40th floor of the Four Seasons in downtown Denver. Fentress and Kessler listed the 4,828-square-foot modern apartment for $4.75 million in 2016. It was relisted in 2019 and later in October 2020 for $4.9 million, but has not sold yet, according to MLS.
The property on Churchill Drive was sold by Neyeska and Steve Mut, who bought it in 2004 for $5.25 million, according to property records. The couple renovated the home, which sits on 2.6 acres and overlooks Cherry Hills Country Club, in 2006, according to the listing.
The five-bedroom, 12-bathroom home offers the “ultimate retreat for those seeking privacy, serenity, and scenic beauty,” according to the listing. It features a pool, tennis court and spa.
Neyeska is the managing director for Denver-based Cynosure Energy and Steve is the CEO of Nycn Energy Consulting, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
