About the Property
A Mid-Century Masterpiece with Soul and Provenance
Utah’s most iconic Mid-Century Modern home, designed in 1957 by renowned Swiss architect Eduard Dreier for the Smith’s Food & Drug family, sits atop a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted St Mary’s neighborhood on .55 acres with incredible views of downtown Salt Lake City, Great Salt Lake, and Wasatch foothills.
Lovingly restored and awarded the Utah Heritage Award for Restoration and Renovation, this 5,447 sq ft architectural gem blends timeless Dreier elements—exposed steel beams, cantilevered roof line, granite rock walls—with modern luxury. The 1,110 sq ft glass-and-steel addition, designed by Dreier protégé Brent Groesbeck in 2016, floats above the main home, expanding living where entertaining is elevated to an art form. The lawns, surrounding gardens and thoughtfully placed exterior lighting are beacons for family gatherings.
Nestled into the mountainside the home offers privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to top schools, skiing and the city. Features include office, custom walnut millwork, vintage hardware, 2 chef’s kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows, gallery walls for artwork, heated saltwater pool and jacuzzi, basketball court, flower gardens, old growth trees, pollinator and succulent gardens, Italian lighting, steam shower, and secure gates by Utah artist Cordell Taylor.
A rare blend of architecture, nature, and lifestyle. A once in a lifetime home.
