From the moment the wrought iron gates at North Cove Estates swing open, you know you are somewhere unique. North Cove isn't your typical Luxury Estate development, instead a small, thoughtfully designed mountain community overlooking the Salt Lake Valley and City Creek Canyon. Yet only 5 minutes from downtown Salt Lake with its eclectic selection of dining, entertainment, shopping, cultural venues, and only 30 minutes from world-class ski resorts. Pulling into the gated drive, one immediately notices the sprawling brick and mortar Rambler style estate, tastefully accented with massive columns at the entrances, arched windows and doors with keystone masonry touches, and cornerstone accents. The high pitched hip roof crowns the structure majestically, mirroring the Rocky Mountains now close just beyond the roofline. Large, antiqued iron lantern sconces provide a warm, welcoming glow at the covered entrance to the Grand Foyer in addition to the drive carved in the mountainside as it approaches the five-car garage. The careful architectural design, together with the choice of complimentary building materials in conjunction with the manicured, mature landscaping blend this estate naturally into its mountain setting with visually pleasing aesthetics. Entering the Grand Foyer stimulates the senses visually as you notice stately column and arch architecture finished with painstaking detail in stunning classic European style dcor. From the chandeliers and ceiling to floor flowing window dressings, to the meticulously detailed wall tex, and majestic fireplace, one immediately feels at home. Right of the Foyer is the Master Suite providing the owner with a secluded oasis, including a fireplace, sitting area, a private deck providing canyon and valley views simultaneously, and a stunning Master Bath and wardrobe. The open design throughout the living area accentuates the size of this house, yet the intimate feeling of a family home is achieved with the quintessential dcor found throughout, hardwood and marble flooring, fireplaces, and a functional floor plan designed for a family as well as entertaining. The wet bar and walkout design of the basement efficiently serve double duty for entertaining groups or just the family. Don't forget your indoor basketball, racquetball, volleyball, and badminton court for 365 climate-controlled sports action.
