Where is Park City?

The town hosts the annual Sundance Film Festival and features a historic Main Street lined with shops and restaurants. In warmer months, Park City offers hiking, mountain biking, and outdoor concerts.
Foyer
Just past the arched entry, the foyer opens in a dramatic circle beneath a herringbone ceiling woven with timber beams. A grand spiral staircase rises like a sculpture in the corner, wrapped in wrought iron and stone. A round pedestal table anchors the room, flanked by aged plaster walls, antique furniture, and a sense of quiet permanence.
Living Room
At the heart of the home, the living room merges lodge-like comfort with grand scale through its vaulted ceilings, timber trusses, and glowing hearth set in stone. Bronze wildlife sculptures perch on the mantel, while soft, oversized sectionals gather beneath a wrought-iron chandelier. French doors open the space to sweeping mountain views just beyond the terrace.
Kitchen
Tucked beneath a rustic beamed ceiling, the kitchen doubles as a culinary hall with twin islands—one clad in butcher block, the other topped with gleaming stone. Hanging above, a forged iron rack cradles a set of copper pots like an old-world tavern. Stone arches connect the kitchen to the rest of the home, with open shelving and built-in cabinetry rounding out the warmth.
Bedroom
Carved into its own wing, the primary bedroom layers textures of stone, plaster, and wood beneath exposed beams that echo the roofline. An ornate wood headboard rests in a recessed niche, flanked by antique-style lamps and surrounded by parquet flooring that leads to a lounge tucked quietly in the corner. Soft light filters through high windows, brushing over timeworn finishes.
Bathroom
Inside the primary bath, a hammered copper soaking tub curves beneath a stone-arched window that spills morning light over terra cotta tile. A chandelier hangs low from the plaster ceiling, mirrored by a pair of sconces set into the walls. Carved wood vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and vintage urns add touches of the old world to the calming retreat.
