Property Description

Built in 1896 and full of original character, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow-style home at 442 E 800 S in Salt Lake City offers 1,807 total square feet across three levels - including a main floor, upper level, and partial basement - all situated on a rare 0.19-acre lot that is exceptionally rare for this location and price point in the city. The brick exterior, covered front porch with classic columns, grand staircase with an original white-painted balustrade, crystal chandeliers, and quality throughout speak to the era's craftsmanship, while the home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated for modern living. The main level features a spacious formal living room with high ceilings, a dedicated dining area, and a kitchen equipped with a gas range, dishwasher, tile flooring, and updated cabinetry with ample storage. The upper level provides two additional bedrooms, a fully updated three-quarter bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower stall and new vanity, a newly added kitchenette, and access to a private upper deck with tree canopy and mountain views - a truly rare outdoor space for an in-city property of this type. The main floor also includes two well-proportioned bedrooms with good closet space and natural light, along with a full bathroom. The partial basement offers additional storage and utility space. Out back, the property shines with a covered rear porch perfect for entertaining, a large concrete patio, a substantial 300-square-foot outbuilding/shed, mature fruit trees, and a fully fenced, expansive yard that offers privacy and flexibility that is hard to find within the city limits. The home has central forced-air heating, central air conditioning, an asphalt shingle roof, and a concrete driveway with parking for up to four vehicles. This home has recently been inspected, and virtually all identified deficiencies have been corrected - making it genuinely move-in ready and reducing the risk and uncertainty that typically accompanies a home of this vintage. Located in the highly sought-after Liberty Wells neighborhood, it sits within blocks of Liberty Park - one of Salt Lake City's largest and most beloved green spaces - and just minutes from the vibrant 9th & 9th district, with its independent restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, as well as easy access to downtown Salt Lake City, the University of Utah, Sugarhouse, and Interstate 15. The area is well served by public transit. For buyers seeking original historic character, a large lot, functional multi-level living, and a location that puts the best of Salt Lake City within easy reach, this property represents outstanding value and a rare opportunity in today's market. If the square footage or acreage of the property or improvements is of material concern to the buyer, the buyer is responsible for verifying the square footage/acreage measurements and improvements to the buyer's satisfaction.
