This one-of-a-kind residence was dreamt up in 1955 by none other than Cliff May—the father of the California ranch house—whose influence helped shape the very soul of mid-century modern design. While Cliff’s footprint on Southern California is legendary, his rare contributions to Salt Lake are even more sacred, making this home an architectural artifact and a living piece of modernist art.
What you’ll find here is timeless design for today's lifestyle.
The current owner has treated this home with the reverence it deserves—updating where needed, preserving where essential. Original wood floors, now exposed and lovingly restored, run through airy, light-soaked spaces. The original fireplace shines. New paint and tile freshens the palette without overshadowing the soul. A new furnace (2016) pairs with a smart Nest thermostat for comfort with consciousness. A new water heater (2025), new fridge and dishwasher, and a brand-new sprinkler system join the list of thoughtful upgrades that blend old and new with integrity. The kitchen was updated by a previous owner, also opening the concept by removing the galley walls.





True to Cliff May’s design ethos, the connection between inside and out here is nothing short of seamless. Large windows, open sightlines, and a fluid floor plan allow light, air, and energy to move uninterrupted. The home spills easily into the outdoors, where a newly installed flagstone patio and raised garden beds become natural extensions of the living space.
Just off the kitchen, you’ll find another patio—perfectly perched with captivating views of downtown Salt Lake City—inviting you to dine, unwind, or entertain under the open sky. Whether you're lounging with morning coffee under the gaze of Mount Olympus or watching the city lights flicker from the west-facing kitchen, the boundaries between interior and exterior all but disappear.
This is quintessential mid-mod: casual, comfortable, connected to nature. A space where architecture doesn’t just contain life—it enhances it.
All of the updates are listed in full in the attached documents—but let’s just say, the love here is evident.
This isn’t just a house. It’s history. It’s heritage. And it's home.
