One of the outstanding features of this property is the spectacular views it offers of both the mountains and Salt Lake City. The extensive use of natural materials throughout the home, including accents pieces made of salvaged bamboo and walnut, create an interior that resonates beautifully with its surrounds.
This two-story home is 2,600 square feet, with three bedrooms, three full baths, and two covered sunken parking spaces. Floating stairs lead to the front entrance on the upper level. Inside, dark walnut floors flow throughout the living areas, creating a dramatic contrast to the white walls. Expansive new windows enhance the dialogue between the home’s interior and the exterior terrain.The main floor flows onto a large patio on the front of the house, one of the property’s two outdoor living spaces.
Also on the main floor, a floor-to-ceiling slate fireplace opens to both the living room and the kitchen area, providing a dramatic focal point to the space. The kitchen features stainless steel Bosch appliances, and a custom poured-concrete countertop and sink by Future Form Designs. The bathrooms are similarly appointed with unique poured concrete sinks and countertops. Low-maintenance slate tiles cover the bathroom floors. Sink and tub fixtures, by Philippe Starck for Hansgrohe, are wall-mounted in keeping with the spare, clean aesthetic of the home. The master bathroom features a separate shower and tub; the large showerhead is ceiling mounted, creating a rainfall effect.
Throughout the home, custom light fixtures enhance the mid-century-meets-modern mood. Several rooms feature hanging bubble lamps designed by George Nelson for Modernica. The furniture and art shown in the home are available for purchase.
The lower level of this home boasts another magnificent floor-to-ceiling fireplace, 24 inch gray tile flooring, and the continuity of white walls. The lower living space, with a bar and seating area, opens onto a patio and swimming pool. The curving outline of the pool artfully juxtaposes the angular wood pergola that covers part of the patio. Beside the pool, a cabana serves as both a changing room and a guest house. A modern cedar fence encloses the yard, while xeric Zen landscaping creates a serene atmosphere that makes this outdoor space blend seamlessly with the foothills bordering the property.
The upscale rural feeling of this home belies its proximity to the urban life. Downtown Salt Lake City is just 15 minutes away; Park City, 20 minutes. Ski resorts are also just 15 minutes from this home. Shopping areas and elementary, middle and high schools are all nearby.
In all, this home is a serene refuge that embodies the best of mid-century style updated for life in the 21st century.
