About this home

Nestled on a charming alleyway street between the U of U campus and downtown, this small but delightful home is ready to welcome you. The location couldn't be better: just a few blocks away from the heart of the University, and only steps away from a Trax line. The convenient placement gives you quick access to all that downtown Salt Lake City has to offer, including galleries, restaurants, theaters, shopping and entertainment. The alley is surrounded by quiet tree-lined streets, with historic homes and an established presence that calls you outdoors for walks and community involvement. This historic home was built in 1896 and has been updated through the years, including double paned windows, an updated kitchen & bath, and a metal roof, making it a comfortable place to land. It has an open kitchen/dining/living space, 2 beds, 1 bath, and a useful mudroom/laundry with back door access. The backyard is almost maintenance free, with a stone patio and room to rest under the shade trees. The home's gravel drive to the south has room for two cars, and there is a useful shed for storage. In the front, a covered porch offers the chance to enjoy the quiet street scene, and additional pavers allow for more patio seating space or extra parking -depending on your needs. This historic home is here to stay: the foundation has recently been stabilized, with a smart jack system and a transferable warranty from Davenport Construction. Whether you need a home with quick access to the action downtown, one that is close to the University and hospitals, or if you're drawn to the idea of simple living in a small home, this property is sure to delight!
