BELLEVUE, WA — Russell Wilson's journey from Seattle to Denver is complete after the former Seattle Seahawks quarterback and his wife Ciara secured a sprawling mansion in the elite Cherry Hills Village suburb of Denver.
News of the purchase spread on social media Friday, just a few days after the Wilsons put their Bellevue, Wash., property on the market for an eye-popping $36 million — a figure that includes $28 million for the lakefront mansion and another $8 million for an adjacent parcel. The couple bought their Eastside home for $6.7 million in 2015 and stands to make a hefty profit thanks to Puget Sound's red-hot real estate market.
According to TMZ, the Wilsons shelled out roughly $25 million for an even bigger pad outside Denver, purchasing the most expensive single-family home ever sold in the area. The new digs will provide nearly twice the space of their long-time Washington home, sitting on more than 5 acres, with four bedrooms and 12 bathrooms spread across 20,000 square feet.

Other amenities include a massive indoor pool, a full-sized basketball court, and a home theater.
As first reported by BusinessDen, the deal was brokered in an off-market deal, and the Cherry Hills home was purchased from a company managed by billionaire Gary Magness, an heir to the TCI fortune. The deal easily surpassed previous records for single-family homes in the Denver area, including a $16 million purchase for a downtown penthouse in 2020. Late last year, former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan sold his neighboring Cherry Hills mansion for $15.7 million.
