Designed by architect Gilbert Eugene Haycock in 1967, this jaw-dropping structure was designed as his personal residence and is listed at $820,000 USD. The iconic 2,888-square-foot building, known locally as "The Glass House," has had only one owner.
Heather Maughan, listing agent for North Realty Real Estate, says, "The unique design of the roof is more like a bridge."
When you walk in, there are some partitions in the walls of the room that don't go to the ceiling. It's about 3 feet below the ceiling, so it's a very fluid, open space. Walls are usually designed to support a roof, so this is really unique.
Inside, the four-bedroom Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home looks exactly as it did when it was built decades ago. From the brightly coloured shag carpet to the Formica countertops, the vintage interiors are a step back in time.
"Everything in the home is original," says Mohan. The refrigerator and stovetop are in their original colours, but have had to be replaced over time. The laundry room, office, hallway and kitchen also have linoleum and are in good condition.
There are clean lines throughout the home. Vaulted ceilings feature natural wood. Huge walls of glass take in the views of the backyard and beyond. Built-in storage cabinets are plentiful, one of which adjoins a window that extends from the kitchen to the office.
"The house is located in a very remote town in northern Utah," she says. It sits on a corner lot and has an orchard in both the front and back yards, the original orchard on the property, over 100 years old, which produces apples and apricots."
Haycock served in the Navy during World War II before earning a degree in architecture. Although he died in 2020 at the age of 93, his legacy remains throughout the city.
Maughan says: "He designed many of the properties in the area, including Romney Stadium, Logan Airport and a number of schools. We've had two people look at the house who are experts in design, art and historical heritage. They have both said that no changes will be made and I think the community will be happy to see that."
