When the Taplin family purchased 11 Cherry Hills Drive in 1958, the house sat at the end of a dirt road.
Even though the home, built in 1941, overlooks the 10th fairway of the Cherry Hills Country Club, Thomas and Beatrice Taplin didn’t buy it for its proximity to the course. Instead, they sought a home with ample space for their four sons.
The 6,000-square-foot New England-style manor with five bedrooms and six baths met that need.
In 1989, the Taplins bought additional land, and in the 1990s they remodeled the house to update its infrastructure and add an elevator. But they kept the home’s charm, including the angled ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms.
The Cherry Hills Village home also has an outdoor swimming pool and a pool house. It features expansive gardens, 100-year-old trees and a whimsical collection of birdhouses.
Thomas Taplin was an industrialist and a philanthropist who died in 2007. Beatrice Taplin, a philanthropist who was an early supporter of Planned Parenthood and served on the boards of the Denver Symphony Orchestra and Denver Botanic Gardens, died in September.
Their oldest son, Tom, a filmmaker and mountaineer, was filming a documentary about the base camp at Mount Everest in 2015 when he died in an avalanche triggered by an earthquake.
Now, the family’s estate is selling the 3.7-acre property, which includes 841 linear feet of golf course frontage, for $12 million.
Pam Helm and partners Patti Helm and Libby Weaver of Helm Weaver Helm have the listing.
A potential buyer could divide the property into two parcels and renovate or replace the home.
“I could see it being a generational property,” Pam Helm said. “It’s a unicorn. You can’t find anything else like it.”
