About This Property

This storybook brick bungalow in Highland Park stands out with its rare originality and enduring Sugarhouse character. From the distinctive clay tile roof to the classic white picket fencing and mature plantings, the home feels like a treasured piece of the neighborhood's history-one that has been thoughtfully updated without losing its soul. Step inside and you're greeted by sunlight pouring through the formal living room's bay window, framing mountain views that never get old. A marble-surround fireplace and an inviting reading nook add charm, while the arched doorway into the dining room showcases the craftsmanship of a different era. Glass-door built-ins (with their original doors stored safely below) remind you that this home was designed with both beauty and purpose in mind. The kitchen blends vintage spirit with modern function through quartz countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that extends throughout the main level. From the dining room, step into a spacious family sunroom wrapped in windows-an all-season retreat anchored by a gas fireplace. This opens to a screened-in porch that spans the length of the home, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for gatherings, quiet mornings, and summer nights. The main level features two inviting bedrooms and a full bath, with timeless details such as crystal doorknobs, plantation shutters, and efficient vinyl windows. Downstairs, you'll find a generously sized third bedroom with a walk-in closet, a second bath with a walk-in shower, a large laundry room, a true additional family room, abundant storage, and a flexible bonus space ready to function as an office, gym, or even a fourth bedroom. The backyard delivers both privacy and possibility. A wrought-iron gate secures the back driveway, and the garden shed opens directly onto the beloved Parleys Trail-your own private gateway to neighborhood strolls, bike rides, and the connected outdoor lifestyle that Sugarhouse is known for. Living here means embracing one of Salt Lake City's most vibrant, walkable communities. Restaurants, boutiques, cafs, and nightlife are minutes away. Sugar House Park, the University of Utah, and top-rated schools are close by. With quick access to the freeway, SLC Airport, and world-class ski resorts, your daily routines and weekend adventures unfold with ease. Recent upgrades include a 2024 rolled roof on the sunroom, newer HVAC and water heater systems, and all appliances. The rare oversized two-car garage, with additional parking, is another standout feature. Loved and cared for by the same owner for over 45 years, this home offers a chance to step into a truly special property in a neighborhood where nearby homes have sold for over $1 million. It's ready for you to write its next chapter.
