This marvelous historical manor is a Utah gem that is steeped in a century of history. Originally established in 1938 by the Walker family as a summer home, this property boasts a 13,000 square foot house, a guesthouse with a second floor apartment, a newly built caretaker’s cottage, a charming barn, and acres of exquisite gardens, pools, ponds, and paths. With only 4 owners since the home was built, each one has carefully preserved this historic property while updating essential elements to capitalize on modern innovations.
Located at the end of one of the most elite streets in Utah, this home is nestled in an extremely quiet, pastoral setting. The ornate, wrought iron fence that surrounds the property, which was purchased at a museum auction, is the original fence that surrounded Boston Common at the same time Paul Revere made his infamous midnight ride. A lovely pond and winding path are part of the sweeping landscape that leads to the grand entrance, which features stately pillars, an ornate ceiling, and an intricate fountain.
Beyond the magnificent entry, the foyer still has the original marble floors and lead glass windows. It also features a stunning spiral staircase that was meticulously reassembled by hand after being purchased from the New Hampshire’s Governor’s mansion that draws the eye up to a gorgeous chandelier.
The spacious living room has an abundance of beautiful features, including the original fireplace and hardwood floors, ornate moldings, and a period chandelier. The large windows offer sweeping views of an exquisite landscape and the pool, which won an international gold medal for design.
The billiards room boasts original stained glass, coffered, gold leaf ceilings, and marble floors. French doors and windows in a lovely alcove bathe the room in soft light. A wet bar and a regal fireplace make this space ideal for gathering together with friends and family for any event.
One of the most charming rooms in the home is the winter garden room, which has heated tile floors under a beautiful atrium. Three sets of French doors leading to the gardens provide ample light and outstanding views.
To the left of the foyer, a water closet with a gold sink and stained glass sits just outside the private office space. This majestic office is surrounded with wonderful architectural features, including wood paneling from the New Hampshire Governor’s mansion, arch doors, stunning tile, and a wood fireplace.
To the right of the living room is a spacious formal dining room with marble floors, a fireplace, and antique windows from England. The adjacent kitchen boasts traditional details such as tall ceilings and original stained glass, but commercial-grade appliances, a massive granite island, and a butler’s pantry capitalize on modern conveniences. It is easy to entertain groups of any size with easy access from the kitchen to the patio, the formal dining room, or the informal dining space.
To the right of the kitchen, the informal dining space and the family room, create a modern-day great room. Domed ceilings, antique stained glass and a grand fireplace add to the ambiance of this room and an ice cream parlor from England offers some whimsy.
Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the spectacular gardens and flood the room with light.
The ballet room houses several treasures, including woodwork from the historic Leyson-Pearsall jewelry store that was established on Salt Lake City’s Main Street in 1905. The original jewelry case, a wrought iron gate, and beautiful columns add wonderful charm to this delightful room.
Additional features include a second story laundry room, a luxurious sauna, and a generous mudroom with lockers and a dog bath. Each of the home’s bedrooms is a miniature suite, with two closets and a full bathroom assigned to each room, which allows family members and guests to enjoy their own private sanctuary.
The stunning grounds of this property are beyond comparison. A charming cutting garden, lush fruit trees, and sprawling grassy areas create an inherently beautiful atmosphere. Paths wind through the property, which is dotted with quiet sitting areas that provide views of the stunning Wasatch mountain range. Original statues, an award-winning pool, and a sports court offer something for everyone. The ponds, pools, and creek keep the grounds cooler in the summer than other parts of the valley, which makes it even easier to enjoy the outdoors.
The spellbinding peg-wood barn was carefully constructed with attention to every detail. On the main floor, the three stall doors are salvaged elevator doors from the renown Walker building in downtown Salt Lake City. Wooden beams flank the tall ceiling and beautiful chandeliers provide a charming aesthetic.
Williams Fine Art, Salt Lake City
……”A thing of beauty is a joy forever”………….that is what Clayton R. Williams had in mind when he established Williams Fine Art in 1988. He envisioned an art gallery which would present to the public a beautiful collection of art created by the best of early Utah artists. He concentrated on outstanding works by both living and deceased painters and sculptors. His gallery offered symposia whose speakers presented to the audiences important information about the lives of outstanding artists with showings of their works. Also, special events were held such as book signings by the authors of newly published art books.
Artist's work that is regularly offered through Williams Fine Art include, LeConte Stewart, James T. Harwood, Lee Deffebach, Florence Ware, Minerva Tiechert and many others.
Today Mr. Williams is continuing that Williams Fine Art tradition at a new location, 132 E Street in Salt Lake City, where you will see fine collections of museum quality art work. Mr. Williams truly believes that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever” and he wants to share that vision with his friends who have become collectors of the finest of Utah and Western Art. Williams Fine Art is located in the F. Weixler Co. gallery which contains an array of lovely furniture, rugs, pottery and paintings to please the eye.
We hope you will come to see us when you are looking for quality artwork. Learn more at williamsfineart.com.
We're located at 132 E St. in Salt Lake City. Our hours are 12pm to 5pm, Monday through Friday.
