Denver’s Crown Jewel on the Parkway — A Historic Estate Reimagined for Modern Luxury! Nestled along the iconic, tree-lined 17th Avenue Parkway, an elegant extension of City Park itself, 4101 E 17th Avenue Parkway stands as one of Denver’s most magnificent and historically significant estates. This 3-story Colonial Revival mansion, with 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, was owned by Thomas B. Croke, a Colorado statesman & philanthropist. Owning this home is a rare chance to hold a true piece of Denver’s story in the heart of South Park Hill, one of Denver’s premier neighborhoods. Meticulously restored throughout, the residence blends early-20th-century craftsmanship with modern luxury. Year-round sunlight floods the entire south-facing residence, showcasing period details and modern updates. A chef ’s-caliber kitchen built for entertaining boasts 2 large islands, 3 sinks, 48-inch appliances, and 2 dishwashers. The elegant flow of the main level, multiple family and entertaining rooms, and the speakeasy-style martini bar on the garden level create an atmosphere where hosting is effortless. The home accommodates intimate dinners or large celebrations with ease, indoors or out. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a fireplace, wet bar, and a private balcony overlooking the 17th Avenue Parkway greenbelt. Additional suites span the second and third floors, while the 2,100 sq-ft garden-level basement with its own entrance provides ideal nanny quarters, multigenerational living, or premium rental potential. Perched on nearly 12,000 sq ft of lushly landscaped grounds, the estate has been redesigned for gatherings of every scale. A large paver patio and adjacent drive-thru garage provide ample space for grand outdoor gatherings. Steps from City Park, Denver Zoo, the Museum of Nature & Science, fine dining, and minutes to Downtown; this is where history, beauty, and modern urban living converge. You’re not just buying a home — you’re becoming a steward of Denver’s heritage.
