Denver Realtor David Krohne Facilitates $2.05 Million Sale of Historic Park Hill Residence

EmitenTrust.com DENVER, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A piece of Park Hill history recently entered a new chapter with the $2.05 million sale of 5335 E. 17th Avenue Parkway, a distinctive 1930 residence known for its remarkable architecture, original craftsmanship, and notable provenance. Denver Realtor David Krohne of the FORM Team at Compass facilitated the transaction, marking another landmark sale of a historic home for Krohne, who focuses on residential properties with architectural character and history.

Situated along Denver's most picturesque parkway, the 4,662-square-foot residence retains the details that define historic Park Hill homes. Original clinker brickwork, leaded-glass windows, a library with original ceiling beams, and a dramatic portico contribute to its character. Its tile roof and Mediterranean Revival design further distinguish it among Denver's most historic properties.

The home's history adds another layer of significance. Its original owner was Clyde Epperson, a famed Denver entrepreneur who built a successful industrial-gas company before selling it in 1929 and subsequently commissioning the residence. Following the repeal of Prohibition, he sold the home and became the majority shareholder of Gipps Brewing Company in Illinois.

For Krohne, the transaction illustrates what makes historic homes of this caliber different from other luxury properties.

"Homes like this are special because so much of what give them character can't be recreated," said Krohne. "The architecture, craftsmanship, and history give them a sense of place that is increasingly rare. There is something meaningful about owning a home that has been part of Denver's story for so long. For the right buyer, the opportunity isn't just to own a remarkable house, but to become its next steward and carry that story forward."

Krohne's experience restoring older homes shapes his work with historic properties, giving him an understanding of architecture, renovation potential, and home preservation. As a Park Hill resident, he brings familiarity with the neighborhood's distinctive housing stock and evolving market.

The sale marks a new chapter for this stunning residence, passing its architecture and history to a new owner.
