About this home
Set on one of Salt Lake City’s most storied streets, this Utah Historic Registry home represents the best of classic architecture reimagined for modern living. Perfectly positioned on a quiet portion of this tree-lined stretch of East South Temple, this regal estate offers a rare blend of history, privacy, and refinement conveniently located near the University, downtown, and the city’s cultural heartbeat. A gated, secure driveway tucked off a private lane ensures ease of access while maintaining a sense of seclusion. The home’s stately columned front porch, mature trees, and master gardener–designed landscaping create a picture-perfect welcome, while its distinctive shingle siding evokes timeless East Coast elegance. Inside, the main level exudes warmth and character, with rich hardwood floors, exquisite millwork, and leaded glass windows. Pocket doors open to formal living and study spaces, and a charming powder bath with playful wallpaper adds a touch of whimsy. The formal dining room connects seamlessly to both the kitchen and living room, creating an ideal flow for entertaining. The renovated kitchen honors the home’s heritage while incorporating modern convenience, featuring custom cabinetry, built-in storage, and a charming pantry hidden behind an original wood door. A new mudroom provides everyday functionality with direct access to the two-car garage and gated drive. Beyond the interior, the backyard is a private retreat designed for year-round enjoyment. A paver deck anchors the outdoor living space, complete with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and a covered lounge area outfitted with power, lighting, shades, and a ceiling fan, perfect for relaxation throughout the seasons. Fully gated and thoughtfully designed, the backyard offers room to dine, lounge, and play without interruption, creating a true extension of the home’s living space. The second level is anchored by an inviting primary suite within the home’s turret, offering a cozy reading nook framed by arched windows, a gas fireplace, and a marble-clad bathroom with dressing room, laundry, and balcony access. Additional bedrooms on this level include en suite baths, built-ins, and architectural details that capture the home’s character. The third floor surprises with a sun-drenched office surrounded by walls of windows, framing views of the hillside and surrounding historic neighborhood. This level also features two additional bedrooms, each with charming window seats, built-ins, and their own private lofts, along with a full bath with dual vanity. The lower level reveals the home’s rich history and incredible charm, with exposed brick walls, a gas fireplace, a cozy den, an original bank vault door leading to storage, and a spacious laundry room showcasing new mechanical systems. Every inch of this exceptional home reflects the thoughtful care and craftsmanship of its stewards. Beautifully landscaped grounds, a sense of privacy set back from the street, and the unique combination of architectural significance and modern ease make this a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on South Temple.
