The story

Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in Sandy, Elysium at Gracey Lane doesn’t just offer a place to live, it offers a way to live. Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, this 1993 rambler has been transformed into a modern, multi-generational sanctuary, blending clean lines, warm textures, and an unmistakable sense of calm.

The home’s new face is striking: a full stucco exterior trimmed with Shou Sugi Ban siding, elegant metal accents, and a show-stopping glass pivot door framed by twin steel columns. It’s both contemporary and grounded, making a quiet statement in the neighborhood while inviting you into something special.

Step out back, and the view does the talking. Perched above a gully that drops into Brandon Park, Elysium overlooks Lone Peak and the surrounding Wasatch mountains. The former fence is gone, replaced by the illusion of infinity, giving the yard a floating, almost ethereal quality. Wildlife regularly passes by: deer, wild turkeys, woodpeckers, even horseback riders and hikers on the trails below. It’s serene. It’s real. It’s Elysium.

With over 6,300 square feet, this home was designed to flex with life. The spacious loft apartment above the garage can function as a fully independent residence. The basement ADU has its own entrance, kitchen, and living space, ideal for long-term guests, multi-generational families, or income potential.

Inside, the main level is open and expansive, centered around a chef’s kitchen made for gathering. Three bedrooms, including a luxurious owner’s suite, flow off the main living area. The ensuite bath is artfully designed with a jetted rain shower and a deep soaking tub perfectly positioned in front of a picture window. It’s your own private spa.

The basement continues the story, with a game room, home theater, gym, and guest suite. From floor plan to finishes, the layout is thoughtful and adaptable, with seamless transitions between connected and independent living.

Designed and lived in by the builder herself, Elysium is also a living design studio. Its interiors reflect an “organic modern” philosophy, where natural materials and neutral palettes meet clean lines and curated vintage finds. A living plant wall anchors the open living space. Light pours in. Every corner breathes.

Elysium at Gracey Lane, eternal paradise, redefined.

This is more than a home. It’s a philosophy. A retreat. A quiet exhale in a world that moves too fast.Bya Patzner
