Located in the affluent community of Holladay, Utah, this custom estate is a true dream home. Holladay is the oldest continually-inhabited city in Utah, and this home, built in 2005, captures the essence of an established estate while offering the latest modern amenities.
Set on 3.34 beautifully landscaped acres, this two-story home is 12,753 square feet, with six bedrooms and nine baths. The exterior presents traditional Tudor architecture, built of stone and brick on the first level with stucco and accent beams on the upper level. A wooden shake/shingle roof adds to the old-English charm.
Throughout this luxurious home, extensive woodwork creates drama and authentic Tudor-style charm. In the living room, the walnut floors mirror the beams on the ceiling. The dining room, which easily accommodates a table for 12, features a stone fireplace that sets the stage for gracious dining.
In the kitchen, travertine floors and marble countertops complement the light and dark wood cabinetry, creating a room that is both lively and traditional. All the modern amenities, such as a double oven, built-in range/oven, and gas countertop range, are included. A curved bay window frames an intimate seating area for family dining.
In the library is another of the six stunning fireplaces in this home. The artful use of wood beams, the dramatic fireplace mantel, and floor to ceiling windows offer the perfect blend of warmth and light. The family room also focuses on an exquisite hand carved wood fireplace, flanked by large windows, again achieving the ideal pairing of natural elements.
The rec room features an intriguing combination of vaulted ceilings, hand carved woodwork and skylights. A curved bar area completes the room, making it an inviting place for casual entertaining.
In the master bedroom, Tudor-style ceiling beams set a tone of old-world elegance. Large windows and a spacious seating area promise the homeowners a restful sanctuary. The master bathroom, with a large, marble-surrounded tub, features a stunning stained glass window that fills the room with light while maintaining privacy.
The second floor also offers a spacious TV room with another gas fireplace and custom wood mantel, an ideal spot for family relaxation.
The comforts and charms of this estate are carried from the interior to the exterior. In the back of the house, a private curved patio with dramatic outdoor lighting provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining. An outdoor fireplace invites guests to relax and enjoy the mountain views, while a stream and stunning natural rock waterfall bring all the elements of nature to the doorstep. The many mature trees, and a garden area, add to the feeling of an established English country home. A gracious curved arbor in the garden provides architectural interest in the secluded yard.
The property also offers large play areas for family fun, and a horse barn and corral. And, of course, the modern conveniences of central air conditioning, a central vacuum system, a security system, and a four-car garage.
