Greg and Vikki Goldberg say living in Urling House at 4050 Montview Blvd. in Park Hill has been an honor.
“We’ve been among the few lucky people to live here,” Vikki Goldberg said. “It’s been magical. Someone has to caretake a home like this and protect its integrity.”
Renowned architect Jacques Benedict designed the home in the Beaux-Art style. Constructed in 1921, it was a wedding gift for Madeline Urling from her father.
Benedict was a Colorado architect known for his prominent works, including homes, churches and public buildings. His work includes several National Register of Historic Places structures, including the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver, the Colorado School of Mines Field House and the Washington Park Boating Pavilion.
The couple bought the 5,506-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-bath home in 2015 for $1.8 million so their daughters could attend East High.
Now, with their daughters in college, the couple is ready to move into something smaller. And they hope to find a buyer for their home who will continue to cherish and protect it.
“We hope it’s someone who will respect that authenticity,” said Greg Goldberg, a partner at Holland and Hart.
The historic home features crimson brick in a herringbone pattern, ornate ironwork, and a green tile roof. The front door, encased in a stone arch with a massive glass lamp, was once recognized as one of the most beautiful doorways in Denver.
Inside, it features a glass-paneled atrium that floods the home with natural light, Goldberg said.

The living, dining and family room ceilings are embellished with beams, carved plaster and honeycomb patterns.
The home still includes its original white oak floors and wrought iron railings.
The home’s exterior has remained largely untouched, and some of the baths have their original tile and fixtures, said listing agent Taylor Heslop with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. Interior improvements to the kitchens and some baths were designed to maintain the home’s historic integrity.
“You don’t often get to work with a home that has a lot of history,” Heslop said. “With 60 Benedict properties left, it’s a collector’s item.”
