Charlie Blackmon made a $4.2 million sale on his Belcaro property.

After a successful 14-year career with the Colorado Rockies, outfielder Charlie Blackmon has made the decision to say goodbye to his life as a Denver homeowner. The retired athlete recently sold his home in the Belcaro neighborhood for $130,000 less than its original listing price. The sale, which closed on November 21st, totaled $4,170,000.

Since his retirement, Blackmon has moved back to his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia to live with his wife, Ashley, and their two young children. The 5,500-square-foot home, located in a gated community near Cherry Creek, was listed for sale on September 11th for $4.3 million. Blackmon had originally purchased the property in June 2018 for $2.8 million.

During his time as a homeowner, Blackmon made several improvements to the property. He added performance tile and inlaid turf to the outdoor space, extending it around the side of the house to create a dog run. When asked about his favorite features of the home, Blackmon mentioned the beautiful outdoor living space and the abundance of natural sunlight that the home received.

Living in a gated community also came with its perks for the local celebrity. Blackmon expressed his appreciation for the protected enclave, stating that it provided a sense of security for him and his family. He also shared that Justin Joseph and Deviree Vallejo from LIV Sotheby's International Realty represented him during the sale, while Karen Brinckerhoff from Kentwood Real Estate DTC represented the buyer, Laura Marie Breitenbach. Laura Breitenbach is married to Kenneth A. Breitenbach, the founder of Breitenbach Petroleum Engineering Services, Breitenbach Petroleum Corp Oil Gas Exploration Development, and KAB Acquisition.

Blackmon, a second-round draft pick, had to overcome injuries early in his career but was able to finish with an impressive record of 227 home runs and 1,805 hits. He also holds the Rockies' record for most triples and is second only to Todd Helton in games played, runs, hits, doubles, extra-base hits, and total bases.
