A Modern Log Cabin in Salt Lake City Asks $2.5M
From the custom stone masonry to spiral wood staircase, this home is teeming with architectural details.
Designed and built in 1981, this contemporary home with sweeping city-to-mountain views has been lived in (and loved) by one family. The owners worked closely with Utah architect Fred Babcock to customize the plans and create a bright interior with soaring vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, light-toned wood and stone, and an organic wood staircase.
Custom beams over the deck create a brilliant contrast of light and shadow. Built by Dowsett Construction, the home was enhanced with stone masonry by Merrill Law and leaded glass by Willie Littig. The living area on the main level comes complete with a fireplace in the eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room, formal dining room, and a large primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and abundant closet storage.
Southwest views are found in every room, even the main level laundry with potential dog bath area. The upper level has an additional living room space with built-in office desks, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom.
The lower level can serve as a separate apartment with a kitchenette, Murphy bed, full bathroom, and family room accessed through the three-car garage or a private door. Adjacent to the lower level is a covered patio with a wood-burning fireplace.
An entertainer’s delight, the home sits on a private cul-de-sac and has a circular driveway with ample guest parking. Natural scrub oak provides additional privacy around the multiple gathering spaces on the terraced grounds.

This custom spiral wood staircase comes from the mind of architect Fred Babcock. His redesign of this modern log cabin in Salt Lake City, Utah, contributes to the home’s bright interior without blocking any natural light. The stairs’ organic light-toned wood blends beautifully with the cabin’s interior colors, flooring, and stonework.
