Jack Nicholson, the most Oscar nominated male actor in Academy Award history, is selling out of Aspen. What’s so interesting, is that the house is not the glass and steel structure we’ve come to expect from big name actors, but a quaint historical 1895 Victorian that is listed on the National Register for Historic Places. For an actor who has generated $1.7 billion in ticket sales from his 40 movies, we doubt it’s being sold due to hard times like the homes of so many entertainers.

Built only 14 years after Aspen was incorporated in 1881, it was named Newberry House. Painted a dark green, it blends into its setting of trees and lawn and has pretty contrasting white trim that highlights its architectural lines. Though it is not dripping with the customary gingerbread of its day, whether or not it was intended, the woodwork on the front facing gable stylistically mimics the branches of the nearby evergreens. A lot larger than its first impression, the house consists of 5,790sf with 5 bedrooms and 8 baths. The front porch is the classic wrap-around and windows are large to let in the sun on nice days and to provide a view of gently falling snow over the landscape. Bowser even has a back yard dog house that matches the home.

Since Aspen is just as nice a vacation destination in the summer as it is in the winter, this house will make a perfect family base from which to launch their holiday activities. Perfect for children, the back yard has Victorian wrought iron fencing and lots of lawn for play.
