About this home
Built in 1928 and maintained impeccably, updated thoughtfully and loved ever since, this East Midvale home has the kind of character you simply can't build anymore. Original craftsmanship greets you in the living room, where a tiled fireplace sits between glass-front built-in cabinets, crowned by a pair of small windows and softly arched alcoves. Warm wood trim, hardwood floors, and a wide picture window framed by mature evergreens create a space that feels collected rather than staged. Fresh paint and updated flooring keep the home bright and current without sacrificing an ounce of its soul. In the kitchen, a gas range sits beneath a newly installed vent hood, and a sunny window looks out over the street. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms give you room to spread out, with space left over for the rooms that make a house truly yours, whether that's a painter's studio, a home brewery, a music room, or a workshop. A new furnace and heat pump central air system were installed in 2023, and a radon mitigation system is already in place. Then step outside. A new fence runs along the front of the home, and out back the lot is the showstopper, a sprawling backyard retreat that feels miles from the city. A small orchard of mature fruit trees fills the back of the property alongside an established garden and climbing hops, perfect for anyone who dreams of cooking, canning, or brewing with what they grow. An above ground pool makes summer afternoons easy, and there's still plenty of open space for gatherings, play, or the next big project. This is the kind of yard people spend years trying to create. All of this sits minutes from historic Main Street Midvale, the Center Street TRAX station, I-15, and the shopping and dining at Fort Union, with quick access to downtown Salt Lake and the Cottonwood canyons. A one of a kind home on a one of a kind lot, ready for its next chapter. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate only and were obtained from county records. Buyer is advised to obtain an independent measurement.
