Perched above one of Denver’s most beloved green spaces, the penthouse at Huntington House reads less like a typical city residence and more like a front-row seat to the entire Front Range. Set along Cheesman Park, the home pairs panoramic mountain views with a perspective over the skyline that few addresses in the city can rival.
The drama begins the moment you walk through the door. “Your eye is drawn through soaring ceilings and an extraordinary wall of glass to the Rocky Mountains and the Denver skyline beyond,” says listing agent Marilyn Kal-Hagan of Compass. “The scale is breathtaking, but the light and the view are what truly stop people in their tracks.” The effect, she adds, feels cinematic. And the experience doesn’t end there. Above the main living spaces sits a private rooftop terrace and pool offering sweeping 360-degree views across the city and the mountains beyond.
The residence also carries a bit of Denver history. The home was originally owned by Hank Robinson, the longtime owner of Argonaut Liquor, and later purchased by Dr. Bronwyn Bateman, who once joked about the home’s effect on its occupants. “You almost need a sleeping aid because the overwhelming beauty can keep you up all night,” Dr. Bronwyn said. It’s a sentiment that becomes easy to understand once you see the skyline glowing outside the glass walls after dark.

Architecturally, the building itself holds a quiet confidence. Huntington House is a boutique high-rise designed to maximize natural light and orientation toward the park and mountains. Inside this particular residence, that philosophy becomes especially clear. “What defines this home is the way grand scale is balanced by sculptural detail and warmth,” Marilyn explains. Expansive windows, a sweeping staircase, and open living spaces create a strong architectural identity that feels both timeless and bold.
The lifestyle here is equally compelling. Mornings begin with sunlight spilling across Cheesman Park and the mountains in the distance, while evenings unfold with the city glowing below and the sky stretching overhead from the rooftop terrace. “It is ideal for entertaining,” Marilyn says, whether that means hosting an intimate dinner inside or gathering around the rooftop pool with Denver as the backdrop. Yet despite its dramatic setting, the home offers a sense of calm that can be surprisingly hard to find in the center of the city.
Part of that serenity comes from the neighborhood itself. Cheesman Park has long held a reputation for blending historic charm with urban convenience. Wide lawns, tree-lined streets, and the nearby Denver Botanic Gardens make the area feel almost residential in spirit, even though downtown and Cherry Creek sit just minutes away. “The park becomes an extension of daily life,” Marilyn says, whether it’s for morning walks, concerts at the pavilion, or simply enjoying the rare luxury of open space right outside your door.
Ultimately, the appeal of the penthouse comes down to something simple: perspective. “This is not simply a penthouse,” Marilyn says. “It is a singular vantage point over Denver.” For the right buyer—someone who values architecture, privacy, and a view that truly cannot be recreated— it offers the chance to live quite literally above it all.
