Single Family Home for Sale

Welcome to this storybook brick bungalow cottage in Highland Park, showcasing timeless Sugarhouse charm with modern conveniences. A distinctive clay tile roof and white picket vinyl fence set the tone, with a pear tree in the corner and perennial plantings throughout the yard (though not currently in bloom). Inside, natural light pours into the formal living room, where a marble-surround fireplace creates a cozy focal point and a bay window offers beautiful mountain views. A separate nook adds extra character, while an arched entry leads into the dining room with built-in glass-door shelving (doors currently stored in the basement). The updated kitchen features quartz counters, white cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows throughout the main level. From the dining room, step down into the expansive family sunroom filled with windows and anchored by a gas fireplace (not currently in use). This space opens to a screened porch running the length of the home, the perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing. The main level also includes two bedrooms and a full bath, accented with vintage crystal doorknobs, plantation shutters, and vinyl windows for added efficiency. Downstairs offers a spacious third bedroom with walk-in closet, a bath with walk-in shower, a large laundry room, a true second family room, storage, and a versatile flex area that could easily serve as an office, workout room, or fourth bedroom. The private backyard includes a wrought iron gate enclosing the back driveway, and a shed door that opens directly to the Parleys Trail-perfect for hopping on your bike or enjoying an evening walk. All of this is nestled in one of Salt Lake City's hippest neighborhoods. From this home, you're minutes from the vibrant restaurants, shopping, and nightlife of Sugarhouse, as well as Sugar House Park and the University of Utah. Quick access to the freeway, SLC airport, and nearby ski resorts makes this location ideal for both everyday living and weekend adventure. Recent updates include the rolled roof on the sunroom, replaced in 2024, as well as newer HVAC and water heater systems, and all appliances are included. The property also features a rare oversized two-car garage with extra parking. This home is located in the highly regarded Highland Park Elementary and Highland High School boundaries, making it an exceptional opportunity to live in one of SLC's most sought-after neighborhoods. Owned and loved by the same person for over 45 years, it is now waiting for you to make it your very own. Other homes on this street have recently sold for over one million dollars.
