Designed in 1969 by William Pereira—the Futurist architect responsible for a slew of landmark buildings, including the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco and the Geisel Library in San Diego—this 4,650-square-foot, two-bedroom home in Salt Lake City, Utah, is on the market for the first time and boasts many original details, including a bark-paneled front door, a double-sided fireplace, parquet floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and walls of stone, brick, and cork paper paneling.

While designing the home, Pereira worked closely with its original (and current) owner. The goal was to create a residence that was conducive to enjoying the little things that make life magical—welcoming rooms perfect for entertaining friends, interiors that incorporate the beauty of the natural world, and sleek spaces that serve as the ideal backdrop for stunning design objects, of which there is no shortage in this particular abode. Among the home’s panoply of iconic objects is a first-year Eames chair and ottoman, a Noguchi coffee table, and a womb chair by Eero Saarinen.

The 5,245-square-foot main residence boasts six spacious rooms, including a formal dining room, a garden room, and a keeping room—a term coined during the Colonial period to describe a cozy, multi-use space, typically outfitted with a fireplace. The current inhabitants filled the gracious interiors with early American antiques and folk art, including painted case pieces and Queen Anne and Chippendale seating.
