This timeless English Manor home is one of the most elegant estate properties in the Alpine/Highland area.
Classic architecture highlights the beautiful brick, stately chimneys, and stone exterior. Inside you’ll find a custom kitchen with butler’s pantry; an owner’s suite with private office, walk-in shower, and jetted tub; a grand ballroom that doubles as a home theater, dance, or music studio; and a nicely appointed basement that doubles as a mother-in-law apartment with separate entry, kitchen, and laundry. Marble, travertine, and custom mahogany and cherrywood flooring; 12-foot tray ceilings and hand-crafted custom moldings throughout; a period stairway, decorative 10-foot walls, solid 8-panel wooden doors, and 3-tone paint. Three fireplaces, energy-efficient windows and lighting, and industrial-grade heating and cooling with a filtration system. Three laundry rooms (one on each level), two family rooms, two kitchens, and three dishwashers.
Outside is quality construction with brick, real rock quoining and sills, a 12/12-pitch lifetime tile roof, and decorative cast-concrete privacy fencing and walkways. The private 1.335-acre estate is ideal for gatherings and celebrations: a large entertaining patio, waterfalls, ponds, a pergola, covered walkway, vegetable garden, chicken coop, amphitheater, fire pit, secret garden, 90+ trees, volleyball and basketball courts, a soccer field, an in-ground trampoline, and room for a pool or tennis court.

Who you hire matters.
I hired Kris to handle the disposition of a partnership asset (residential home). Our group lives outside of Utah and we needed a business savvy, smart Realtor who understood the special considerations relative to us being a landlord by means of lending. This presented special challenges that Kris had to help us navigate, which he did, effortlessly and with diligence. Kris is not your average agent. As a person who owns a large residential brokerage in Arizona with hundreds of agents within it, I've seen my share of good agents. Kris was best in class. He cared for our transaction like it was his own. His communication style was easy going, but professional, and most importantly, proactive and timely. I can't say enough good things about Kris and his team, but if I had to sum it up succinctly, it would be: world-class service delivered.Joel Moyes, Entrepreneur & Investor
