Few real estate teams know Denver’s luxury market as intimately as the Behr Team. Consistently ranked among the region’s top-producing teams, they have closed more than $3 billion in real estate transactions and sold over 2,500 properties, earning a reputation for exceptional client service, market expertise, and representation of some of Colorado’s most significant homes.
680 South University Boulevard exemplifies the type of property that has become a hallmark of the team’s portfolio: architecturally significant, exceptionally private, and nearly impossible to replicate.
Located within Denver’s prestigious Polo Club neighborhood, the estate occupies more than two secluded acres, an extraordinary amount of land in one of the city’s most coveted residential enclaves. Hidden behind mature trees and lush landscaping, the property feels worlds away from urban life despite being only minutes from Cherry Creek, Washington Park, Bonnie Brae, and Old South Gaylord.
“What stands out most is the way it blends timeless English Country architecture with an extraordinary sense of scale and privacy that feels almost impossible to replicate in central Denver,” says Josh Behr.
The home makes an impression long before visitors step inside. A sweeping circular drive introduces a façade defined by stone detailing, slate rooflines, arched windows, and meticulously curated landscaping. The architecture embraces classic craftsmanship rather than contemporary trends, giving the residence a sense of permanence that feels increasingly rare. “It is grand in scale, but there is also an intimacy and warmth to the architecture that makes it feel deeply livable,” Josh says.
That balance continues throughout the interior. Vaulted ceilings, detailed millwork, stone fireplaces, and expansive windows create rooms that feel both impressive and inviting. Every space has been designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, with views of gardens, lawns, and outdoor living areas appearing at nearly every turn.
“One of the most memorable moments for first-time visitors is often the transition from the front approach into the main living spaces and then out to the grounds beyond,” Josh says. “What truly leaves a lasting impression is how connected the home feels to the outdoors.”
Among the home’s standout spaces are the dining and living rooms, which showcase the property's ability to combine architecture with everyday comfort. The dining room features soaring vaulted wood ceilings and rich millwork, while the living room pairs coffered ceilings and a substantial stone fireplace with comfortable gathering areas and direct access to outdoor terraces. “The dining room feels architectural and dramatic,” Josh says, “yet still maintains an inviting warmth that makes it feel equally suited for intimate dinners or large-scale entertaining.”
Covered patios, an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace, a pool house, expansive lawns, and a stunning pool create multiple destinations throughout the grounds. Mature landscaping enhances the sense of privacy, making it easy to forget that one of Denver’s most vibrant urban districts sits just beyond the gates.
“The outdoor space creates a true resort-style lifestyle centered around both relaxation and entertaining,” Josh says. “It is the kind of setting where you can host large gatherings, enjoy quiet evenings outdoors, or simply feel completely removed from the pace of the city.”
That feeling of escape is perhaps the property’s most remarkable achievement. Even within Polo Club, finding more than two acres of usable land combined with this level of privacy is exceptionally uncommon. “The setting feels almost estate-like in the truest sense,” Josh says. “At the same time, you are still minutes from some of Denver’s best restaurants, boutiques, and everyday amenities.”
For the Behr Team, homes like 680 South University Boulevard represent more than luxury real estate. They are legacy properties, residences defined not simply by size or location, but by craftsmanship, character, and a lifestyle that cannot easily be recreated.
In a market filled with impressive homes, this one stands apart. Equal parts grand estate and private retreat, it offers something increasingly difficult to find in Denver: the feeling of having escaped the city without ever leaving it.
