Sunny Day Sweepin' the clouds away On my way to where the air is sweet Can you tell me how to get How to get to....... I find myself humming this tune every time I drive through a Ron Molen subdivision. What can I say? Ron designed the perfect planned communities, and they still stand idyllic in all their original charm. His vision of home and community was a family-centric one, in which kids were free to roam and learn through constant exploration of their surroundings. Indoors, he was utilizing flex spaces before there was even a term for it, to foster "creative family living." Before Wasatch Blvd. existed, this home sat at the base of the foothills of Big Cottonwood Canyon. This Research Homes built community was a utopia of artists and free-thinkers (or hippies, as we like to call them today). Gary Collins and his brother - both artists - used to take the neighborhood kids out to paint the aspens and make art projects in nature. This was a time of great hope, neighborhood stewardship, and aspirations for the future. This home is one of Ron's more Miesian style structures, with ultra clean lines, free from frivolous details or complicated rooflines. The face of the home serves as a wall of privacy between the interior space and the street, with towering 40-foot pines adding to the sense of privacy and peace. The home is enveloped by mature trees and mountain views to the east, with a fully-fenced, private backyard from which to soak it all in. This is a perfect home for someone looking for nature- inspired, single level living, within one of Salt Lake's most unique and architecturally cohesive neighborhoods. The vision is not a lost ideal. Far from it. This is a thriving community that is alive and well, and still filled with hopefulness for its bright future. And, if you just so happen to see Mr. Snuffleupagus here, tell him I said "hi."
