N

estled in the middle of Salt Lake City, sits a luxury property that perfectly combines the classic with the contemporary. The traditional two-story stone exterior is reminiscent of the homes of yesteryear in Europe, and the pristine garden in the front courtyard blends perfectly with this image. When lit at night, this luxury property exudes classic charm.

Once one steps inside the front door, contemporary elements are found around every corner of the nearly 9,000 square ft. home. The entry opens into a modern family room, with wood floors and a graceful white stone fireplace as the focal point of the room. This is the ideal location for entertaining, and classic furniture surrounds a modern rug in rich purple hues, a bright splash of color in an otherwise pleasingly neutral room.

The family room opens into a formal dining room, with enough space to seat eight. Tall windows stretch nearly floor to ceiling, allowing plenty of natural light into the space, while three modern paper-wrapped chandeliers hover delicately above the dining room table. Like most luxury real estate, this home features a separate dining area for less formal occasions, with a rustic table and benches offering friends and family a space to enjoy a relaxing meal overlooking the spacious deck and beautiful backyard.

The kitchen is modern from top to bottom, with stainless steel appliance, modern countertops, and bar seating for quick snacks or breakfasts on the go. The roomy space has plenty of cabinets for storing kitchen gadgets, but the design blends in with the overall look of the home, making the cabinetry unobtrusive.

The five-bedroom, four-bath home features a luxurious master suite with private bath. Two glass doors open to a balcony overlooking the city lights, and the modern master bath features design elements like a stand-alone tub and basin sink that make it a true work of art. Natural sunlight and recessed lighting give this room a light, airy feel, making it ideal as a place to unwind after along day. The guest and children’s rooms each feature a fun, contemporary design, with four-poster beds, private seating areas, inviting colors, and eye-catching light fixtures. A separate in-home fitness center makes staying in shape easy, and two half baths make freshening up convenient.

This luxury home is built for entertaining. The large deck has modern seating and a fireplace that offers guests and family members a place to enjoy the fresh Salt Lake City air. A fenced backyard with tree line provides solitude and privacy for outdoor parties. The living room, which opens to the deck, has ample seating surrounding a rustic stone fireplace. Rich earth tones promote a sense of calm at gatherings. The lower level has a family room that doubles as an entertainment center, with comfortable seating and a large media center.

Throughout the home, modern artwork graces the walls, adding to the sleek design and contemporary color scheme. Even the stairways in this home are works of art, adding both beauty and functionality to the property. From the lighting to the furniture choices, no detail has been left undone in this spacious luxury estate.
