Built in 1919, this historic home in Federal Heights is one of the area's finest examples of the Prairie School aesthetic, espoused by Frank Lloyd Wright and others in the early 20th century. The ideals of simplicity, respect for materials, and meticulous craftsmanship are evident throughout. Key design elements include the home's open flow, natural materials, artistic windows, abundant light, horizontal lines, low-sloped roof, cantilevered eaves, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living. Nominated for the 2012 Utah Heritage Award, this historic renovation and complete remodel in 2011 was guided by attention to detail and a thoughtful marriage of form and function. The modern kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry with dovetail construction, large island, and chef-quality appliances. Flooring is oak, raw granite, and polished concrete. The lower-level family room and bath could equally serve as a 4th bedroom suite. Entertaining easily flows from the main level to the oasis-like rear yard and patio, featuring mature landscaping and six-foot cedar privacy fencing. This desirable and charming neighborhood is just minutes from parks, bistros, cafes, the University of Utah, University Hospital, and downtown. For nearly fifty years, the home was the residence of George T. Hansen, president of Utah Southern Oil, and Beatrice M. Hansen, philanthropist, who's generous gift (equivalent to nearly $4 million today) established Utah's Hansen Planetarium in downtown Salt Lake City.
