33 S Birch Street, Denver

Known by Denverites as the Castle of Hilltop, this estate is simply magnificent. It's quite fitting that the original owner based its design off the home from the 1930s Hollywood movie, Magnificent Obsession! From the soaring arched ceilings to the imported European fireplace to the timeless architectural details throughout - you enter and immediately experience the extravagance of the early 20th century. The grandeur of the old is blended perfectly with the luxurious comforts of the new with modern updates fit for royalty. The kitchen is appointed with high end Italian marble countertops, and includes a top of the line appliance package. The recently installed modern pool is a perfect respite from Denver's hot summer days, and heats to 105 F for those cold evening dips. And the best part: not only is this home located in the best pocket in one of the best neighborhoods in Denver - it sits atop a gorgeous, gigantic double lot with a bountiful front yard for play and a mature backyard for entertaining. It's not quite the size of a city block, but it sure does feel like it!

They don't build homes like this anymore. And to appreciate its magnificence, it must be seen.
