Judge’s Choice SLPOH 2025 winners are builders who are setting new benchmarks.

Category 1: Under 4,500 square feet

Craftsmanship: Sonoma by Destination Homes
The proof is in the details of this 4,350-square-foot home featured in the Salt Lake Parade of Homes. Hefty crown molding, wainscoting and tile work seamlessly enhance the cozy space. In the gourmet kitchen, ceiling-high custom cabinetry flows into appliances.
Curb Appeal: Serenity by Sego Homes
This home features cozy outdoor spaces for taking in the view — or saying hello to passing neighbors. A front porch welcomes guests. Just off the kitchen is a covered deck fitting for quiet meals or working outdoors. The upstairs deck off the owner’s suite is hot tub ready.
Sustainability: The Rosenwald by David Weekley Homes
Focusing on sustainability, this Utah home design is airy, yet still energy conscious. Low-E windows allow natural light while minimizing the sun’s heat. High-performance walls provide a quieter space by minimizing outdoor noises, from lawn mowers to traffic.

Curb Appeal: Charleston Place by Ivory Homes
A white picket fence and a traditional front porch helped Charleston Place earn a spot among the Parade of Homes awards. This welcoming abode encourages dinners on the covered deck and marshmallow roasts at the built-in fireplace — all surrounded by the flowers along a custom brick patio.

The Elysium focuses on using natural elements proactively. Strategically placed windows reduce energy consumption; the house design improves natural air flow; and sustainable materials, such as preserved wood, make it efficient.
