Built in 1896 and masterfully reimagined for modern living, this extraordinary mansion on Pennsylvania Street along Millionaire’s Row was designed by renowned architects Gove & Walsh. Constructed of distinguished Denver pressed brick and Rawlins Gray Sandstone, the three-story residence showcases timeless craftsmanship paired with a comprehensive contemporary renovation. Every major system has been thoughtfully updated—including a new roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC with central air conditioning—offering the comfort of new construction while preserving irreplaceable period details. Original architectural elements remain beautifully intact, from the grand staircases and soaring 12-foot ceilings to the impressive 14-inch walls and the original carriage garage. The result is a seamless blend of historic character and modern sophistication—exceptional quality, meticulous detail, and understated elegance throughout.
This dramatic landmark estate offers a grand scale ideal for entertaining. Rich, sophisticated tones create a warm and inviting interior designed to satisfy the most discerning tastes. Beyond the private gated entrance, luxury and comfort unfold at every turn.
A stunning entry foyer welcomes you to the main level, where three fireplaces anchor gracious living spaces. The gourmet chef’s kitchen and sumptuous primary suite feature heated floors, while additional highlights include a wine cellar and fully updated systems throughout the home. The finished lower level is designed for leisure and entertainment, complete with a theatre room, full bar, surround sound, and integrated TV and music system, along with a private guest suite. Born in an era shaped by railroad magnates and mining tycoons, this exceptional historic property stands as a rare architectural treasure—an extraordinary residence designed to be enjoyed and shared with family and friends for generations to come.
