For elevated city living in the heart of Salt Lake, few opportunities compare to this southwest corner pied-à-terre on the tenth floor of Governors Plaza. Taken to the studs and rebuilt corner to corner, the residence was reconfigured to be a one of one penthouse style residence. Perched above Historic South Temple, with two private terraces the home looks south to the Wasatch Range, the U of U, and west to downtown stretching out to the lake.
Inside, the feeling is bright and modern, filled with natural light across white tile floors, custom espresso colored cabinetry, and an open layout that makes the space feel warm and inviting. The kitchen is built with highly customized storage and integrated appliances, a paneled Sub Zero fridge and a suite of Wolf appliances include an inset induction range, wall mounted oven, and steam oven. The island spreads wide into a raised bar and extends into a custom 3form dining table. The walk-in pantry has large amounts of storage, and a wet bar with a filtration system. Along the hall custom cabinetry and flush mount doors hide the utilities as well as a full bathroom. The second bedroom is anchored by dual built-in desks and custom shelving, ready to serve as a guest room when needed.
The primary suite is a world of its own, opening to a private terrace with views of downtown, the Great Salt Lake, and the Capitol. Its walk-in closet is its own room, centered around an island of drawers beneath windows that frame the mountains. The primary bath has a large double vanity with intelligent storage solutions, a marble shower with dual heads, private toilet room, and en-suite laundry.
Behind the finishes, the home is as well equipped as it is beautiful: central vacuum, heated floors, soft water, whole-home humidification, built in speaker system, and a newer furnace, air conditioning, and water heater, for comfort and low maintenance from day one.
