Single Family Home for Sale

A MODERN CLASSIC of hexagonal harmony. A CALIFORNIA HOME ON A UTAH HILL with MILLION-DOLLAR VIEWS OF THE VALLEY AND YEAR-ROUND SUNSETS. Rose Marie Reid designed the home in partnership with temple-architect Joseph Young. The home's clever design eliminates hallways, while the GLASS-CURTAIN WINDOWS maximize natural light and reduce heat gain. The LUSHLY WOODED cul-de-sac lot is YOUR PRIVATE PARK with an EXPANSIVE LAWN -- perfect for entertaining with beautiful views of the valley below. YOU APPROACH THE HOME THROUGH AN ARBOR CANOPY on a long driveway. The entrance is a grand, rock-clad porch balanced with lighted pillars. You step into a VAULTED LIVING ROOM with FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOWS AND SLIDING WALLS THAT OPEN ONTO A LARGE DECK and present you WITH A STUNNING VALLEY views. This home manages to be BOTH ELEGANT AND COMFORTABLE. All the original modern features are on display: vaulted ceilings throughout; indirect lighting in each room; triangular sight-lines and interesting juxtapositions of wood and stone; Gleiro rail closet systems; period hardware and pulls and light fixtures. EVERY ROOM HAS A VIEW. The kitchen was remodeled in the 2000s for function and style, granite counters and hand-carved cabinets; it easily holds a dozen or more people. The primary suite has its own private deck and valley views, and the master bath has a wonderful tinted-glass wall overlooking a private ravine that FRAMES MT. TIMPANOGOS IN ITS PROPER GRANDEUR. The main-floor has three bedrooms, each with private balconies, two of which rooms (including the primary) have en suite baths. The third bedroom is presently a second family room, the entertainment center was built into the closet space. The home's CENTERPIECE IS A MIRRORED CIRCULAR STAIRWAY that's a REFRACTED COSMOS OF IMAGE AND LIGHT. The garden-level family room has valley views and a charming replica fin-de-siecle wood-burning stove. Large sliding glass doors open for indoor-outdoor gatherings. Two bedrooms and a full bath. The second kitchen has a small playroom attached to it, and that small playroom has its own adorable, pint-sized toilet. The home has ABUNDANT STORAGE throughout (the garden-level storage is custom-designed for quilting and sewing). Three forced-air furnaces and two A/C systems supplement a whole-home radiant heating, all of which cultivates a perfectly comfortable temperature throughout. The foundation is deep with 6-inch thick walls for better insulation; underground food-storage room with two large water tanks; 200-amp electrical service, and a recently upgraded low-voltage wiring system; a recently paved driveway; new water heater; new roof in the last few years with twenty-year warranty. There's a swing set and a play house. The yard is easily cared for with a zoned sprinkler system and natural foliage. Indian Hills is a wonderful neighborhood with lovely, caring neighbors from a variety of backgrounds. Close to shopping and restaurants and movies. Just 10 minutes from Provo Canyon. Acreage per UC recorder; square footage per appraisal. Buyer-broker to verify all information.
