"The Urling House" is one of Denver's grand mansions on Montview Boulevard in the prestigious Park Hill neighborhood. Designed by renowned architect Jacques Benedict in 1921, the home was a wedding gift to Madeline Urling from her father and has been featured in several books on Denver architecture and Park Hill. Benedict designed the home in the Beaux-Art style at the height of his career, engaged by Denver's most prominent families to build the city's most elegant homes. Upon seeing it, you can understand why this one is one of Benedict's most notable mansions. Perched high a 20,000 square foot lot you're immediately drawn in by the exquisite architectural detail: crimson brick in a herringbone pattern; green tile roof; ornate ironwork; arched front doors encased by an extravagant stone arch and a massive glass lamp - once recognized as "One of the most beautiful doorways in Denver." Benedict's attention to detail continues inside: the main level features arched doorways & windows; a glass-paneled atrium flooding the staircase with natural light (signature Benedict feature); huge family room with original Van Briggle tile; ceilings in the living, dining, & family rooms embellished with beams, carved plaster, and honeycomb patterns; wrought iron railings; white oak floors; gorgeous William Ohs kitchen; powder room; and a gracious, expansive floor plan for entertaining. Upstairs features 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including the primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom; two private patios; the former "staff's quarters"; and partial third floor featuring a home gym, office, or play area. With opulence, a fascinating history, and architectural excellence, this is one of Denver's distinguished mansions within close proximity to the Park Hill Library; Natural History Museum; Denver Zoo; City Park lake and playground; along with several local shops and restaurants.
