I told you in April that former Nuggets player Nene (aka Maybyner Rodney Hilario) had his Hilltop house under contract for $1.6 million. But something must have happened on the way to the bank.
The Grape Street home ended up selling last month for $1.45 million, according to public records. Nene, who bought the five-bedroom seven-bath single family home for $1.475 in 2004, air jordan 12 femmes sold the handsome house to Thomas Jefferson Adams III and Linsley Weir Adams. (I think that patriotic name makes Mr. Adams a Yankee Doodle Dandy.)

Meanwhile, in Denver Broncos homeowner news, Von Miller tweeted Friday that he had closed on a Denver-area house. Miller, a linebacker, was named the NFL’s 2012 defensive rookie of the year.
Also meanwhile, former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer’s 10,000-square-foot Cherry Hills mansion on 2.81 acres is still on the market.
And also meanwhile, Payton Manning reportedly has settled into former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan’s humongous Cherry Hills mansion that the now Washington Redskins coach had built from the ground up. The home has been used for countless charity events.
