Welcome to the best location in Salt Lake City! This absolute GEM of a home is three minutes from freeway access, but is also on a secluded three-quarter acre lot in the desirable Mount Olympus Cove area. This premier home was designed by architect Tim Puhl. The space is laid out so that family living and entertaining in this home is of the highest degree! Exceptional finishes and upgrades give this home a luxurious feel, well beyond the custom-built front door. Each room in this home is filled with natural light which can brighten up any mood. Even some of the rooms on the low are above ground level. A gently sloped driveway leads to a huge garage with soaring ceilings, which has the capacity to park 6 cars within it. The driveway is piped for heating, just add the boiler so that you can enjoy the winter storms without the need to shovel. The garage is also heated, so that you can work on all of the projects throughout the year which you weren’t able to finish before the weather turns. The sweeping views are spectacular! Mt. Olympus can be seen from each and every window on the south side of this home. Imagine waking up each morning in the primary suite, to a gorgeous view of the mountains. A stone fireplace within the primary suite keeps you bathed in warmth. Enjoy your own private patio right outside your master bedroom door! The primary bathroom also boasts a beautiful marble and glass shower, marble flooring, and over 37 tall custom countertops. The oversized primary suite encompasses one third of the main floor living area. It also includes a huge fifteen foot walk-in closet with two separate sides for both you and your partner. Built-in shelving will display your fantastic collection of shoes. The closet also has a built-in private laundry. This is main level living at it’s very finest. This home includes designer lighting, custom millwork and solid wood doors. The exterior is ALL brick. The main floor has whisper quiet automated shades for when you want to take a break from the sun. The color of the kitchen cabinets was designed specifically for this kitchen. A walk-in butlers’ pantry with a granite countertop and an exceptional amount of storage within the area is every chef’s dream. The grand island seats six comfortably. The adjoining family room also has a stone fireplace, along with automated shades and space for everyone in the extended family. From the family room and kitchen, you see a beautifully landscaped yard containing mature peach, pear, and apple trees. Enjoy your meals outside on a covered and lit patio with outstanding views, from the private back yard, in the shadow of Mount Olympus. The patio is plumbed with gas for a barbeque grill, as well as a gas firepit for an added bonus. Within the lower level there are three spacious bedrooms, a bonus master suite, three individual restrooms, and a third laundry room! The above ground lighting makes each room on the lower level inviting and cozy. The lower level includes a playroom for the little ones, located under the stairs, which is painted as a castle.
