Description

This home is unmistakably a Don Earl design, instantly recognizable by how it harmonizes with its surroundings and is perfectly positioned to capture the breathtaking views. For Don, the view was always a central focus of the home. A self-taught architect, he left his mark on hundreds of homes across the Salt Lake Valley, with his most celebrated designs emerging during the 1960s. He drew inspiration from the architectural giants of his time, translating those influences into beloved homes that remain iconic in Utah. Remarkably, Don achieved all of this despite losing his eyesight by age 50. He is, perhaps, the most accomplished architect in the state. This particular home is a standout. Upon entering on the main level, you are greeted by an indoor water feature, with terrazzo pads seemingly floating across the water and continuing onto the distinctive floating staircase. The upstairs is the true focal point of the home, where a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass frames spectacular southwest views that stretch endlessly across the valley. When the current owners purchased the property, Don Earl personally returned to assist with the kitchen remodel, demonstrating his deep connection to the home and his exceptional recall of its design. The glass-enclosed kitchen flows effortlessly into the outdoors, where a sprawling patio and hot tub create the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The low-maintenance yard is surrounded by native, mature vegetation, allowing the natural beauty of the setting to shine through. Lovingly cared for by the current owners since 1992, this home is now available for the first time in over 30 years, offering a rare opportunity for a new family to create their own memories and continue the legacy of this remarkable property.
