This place draws you in, then offers you a cool drink and a pleasant breeze. The home is set back from the street a ways, and if you follow the idyllic, winding, tree-lined driveway, you’ll be met by a waterfall. Just past the grand entryway, a great room adjoins the open kitchen that is calling-nay, begging-for parties with friends. From there, the home flows perfectly out back onto a covered patio (with outdoor fireplace, of course), then to the gorgeous, terraced backyard, and finally right into the foothills. In a grand, custom house like this one, you’d be right to expect high-end finishes and top-notch appliances…and it’s certainly loaded with those. This one’s got style, luxury, grace, and a price tag that strikes us as “pretty darn reasonable”.
Paul Svendsen has been a manager of congressional campaigns, a practitioner of law, and a renovator of more than his fair share of homes. As such, he’s received our COLLECTIVE stamp of approval as a certified jack of all trades, but it’s his unwavering love for all things real estate that plays so fondly on our heartstrings. Over the last decade, Paul has managed more than $20 million in architecture and construction projects. It comes as no surprise, then, that he’s got a weak spot for old houses (he’s a member of the SLC Historic Landmarks Commission) and big-time fixer-uppers, and he’s had a hand in the resuscitation of several dilapidated buildings. He’s just as comfortable, however, with condos, town homes, and new construction, and he does a fair share of work with investors and commercial real estate. Summed up simply, no matter the style of real estate services you seek, Paul’s wealth of experience and easy-going style are sure to fit the bill.
