Architecture is one of the reasons we love real estate. The right architect or designer can create or transform a space; warm and cozy, or impressive and luxurious. The best architects find a way to create a space where you feel loved, safe, and welcomed. The design and materials reflect the community around it, whether it is a sophisticated high rise apartment or a dreamy beach house.
Promontory, in Park City, is about the mountain lifestyle. A friendly community with trails and golf courses, in a highly amenitzed private setting. Outdoor recreation at its finest, whether you aspire to ski 100 days in a season, or want to watch the sun set over the mountains every evening. Views are important, and architecture ranges from the ultra-modern, with tall steel and glass windows, to rustic, with thick wood ceiling beams and large stone fireplaces.
Clive Bridgwater has designed dozens of homes in Promontory, and each one is truly unique. He likes to make use of natural materials, like reclaimed wood and real stone. He calls it “frontier modernism,” designing western elements into homes. Nowhere is this more apparent than his original personal home. A large stone silo welcomes guests, and winds up to a luxurious Owner’s suite with fireplace, sitting room, and bath with his and hers closets, and winds down to a cool underground wine cellar. The living room has an amazing floor to ceiling fireplace, a stylish bar, and an intimate dining room with a wood ceiling. The light drenched white kitchen is the epitome of the modern farmhouse, with a large wood island, marble countertops, and wide plank floors. Guests or family live comfortably in the guest wing with high ceilings, and ensuite bathrooms.
The lush courtyard has a large lawn, fire pit and a dining area with gas heaters above it for outdoor entertaining. A short breezeway separates the house from the barn, a multi-use space that works as an in-law suite, private office, guest house, art studio or music room.
This 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom home is currently listed for $4.2 million. You can learn more at promontorybarnhouse.com.
