This cottage home sits on a quiet street on a fifth acre piece of land (a rarity in these Sugarhouse neighborhoods) that makes it feel like an oasis in the city. Pitch a tent in the backyard, string up a hammock under the stars, and you might just forget you're in Salt Lake at all. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated while keeping plenty of its original charm. The recently updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, loads of cabinet storage, and a clean, modern feel. Hardwood floors carry through the main living spaces, where a good-sized living room and dining room are filled with natural light from plenty of windows. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, along with a beautifully renovated full bath. New carpet has been installed both upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs, the converted attic adds one of our favorite spaces in the house. Currently a bedroom, it could just as easily be transformed into a home office, a hangout room, a meditation retreat, or an art studio. We love that exposed brick chimney! And also the dedicated mini-split that'll keep things cool all summer long. Downstairs, you'll find the fourth bedroom, second bathroom, and laundry room. Good ceiling height and plenty of natural light keep the lower level feeling bright and comfortable-decidedly not dungeonlike. But the pice de rsistance is the backyard. There's a garage, a big stretch of lawn, a concrete patio for BBQs and birthday parties, a chicken coop, and still room left over for that gardener in you. A covered patio off the house gives you yet another spot to gather, grill, or just sit outside and enjoy it all. And when you do decide to leave your little oasis, getting around couldn't be easier. The home sits just a few blocks from 700 East, with Liberty Park only about a five-minute bike ride away. Cute cottage. Big backyard. Close to everything. This one checks an awful lot of boxes-and we have a feeling it won't be waiting around for long. Come see it before someone else calls it home.
