After a successful 14-year career with the Colorado Rockies, Charlie Blackmon has decided to retire and move back to his home state of Georgia. He and his wife, Ashley, along with their two young children, now reside in Atlanta full time. As a result, Blackmon has put his home in Denver's Belcaro neighborhood on the market.
The house, which boasts 5,500 square feet, four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a three-car tandem garage, was listed for sale on September 11 for $4.3 million. The listing is being handled by Justin Joseph and Deviree Vallejo of LIV Sotheby's International Realty. Blackmon purchased the home in 2018 for $2.8 million, and it has been their beloved residence ever since.
When asked about his home, Blackmon expressed his love for the outdoor living space, which he considers one of the best features. The abundant sunlight makes it perfect for a refreshing dip in the pool or simply lounging on the patio. He also mentioned how much he and his family have enjoyed spending evenings with friends around the custom gas firepit. On pleasant days, they even open the sliding doors to merge the outdoor TV area with the living room, creating an ideal setting for relaxation.
The house's interior is equally impressive, with a chef's kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a built-in Miele coffee maker, and a spacious marble island with ample storage. The second floor houses three large bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom.
According to Joseph, the house is a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city and a fantastic spot for entertaining guests. Blackmon made some improvements to the outdoor space after purchasing the home, such as adding performance tile and inlaid turf, which extends around the side of the house to create a designated dog run area.
Living in a gated community has been beneficial for Blackmon, especially as a local celebrity. He shared, "When we purchased the home, we were drawn to the fact that it is a protected enclave." This added layer of security and privacy has been much appreciated by the Blackmon family.
Blackmon was a second-round draft pick and had a rocky start to his career due to injuries. However, he persevered and went on to have a successful career, with a batting average of .293, 227 home runs, and 1,805 hits. He holds numerous records for the Rockies, including games played, runs, hits, doubles, extra-base hits, and total bases. He also leads the team with 68 triples.
