Welcome to 1208 East, a two-story 1923 home adorned with the touches of the period, then tastefully updated into the glorious entertaining space of today. Hard-to-find features of the era like gumwood moldings, oak hardwoods, an updated yet vintage fireplace with brick hearth and wood mantle, and endless banks of wood windows meld seamlessly into the modern updates. The original timber beams in the lofted living room harmonize with the updated cherry kitchen with all-new stainless appliances. The master en suite offers a glorious space to stretch out in, but perhaps the best part is the bright reading nook where warm, sunny afternoons lend themselves to meditation and personal insight. Although the nook could certainly be used as an office, the real punch is the brand new, insulated, heated/cooled studio space, overlooking the dappled shade of the yard. When the noise of the outside world needs to be muted out, a few steps outside leads to the perfect quiet shrine, where personal projects, work, and creative thought can be explored in peace. Speaking of peace… the lush, quiet yard is a refuge of gardens and shaded sitting spaces, complete with sycamores, lilacs, and stunning Japanese maples. Today’s modern living also requires today’s touches. Google Fiber, fully owned solar system, 95% efficiency furnace (2021), mini splits (18 SEER) and main floor laundry mean you can move in with ease and begin living with the style and ease that today’s world requires along with ROUGHED IN HALF BATH, seller willing to contribute to cost of finishing half bath. Some of the best of what Salt Lake City has to offer is within minutes, including the famed 9th & 9th and 15th & 15th neighborhoods, niche restaurants and bars, charming shopping districts, and short commutes to the downtown office or University of Utah. There’s a very real difference between a house and a home, and once you walk through it, you’ll know this isn’t merely a house in Gilmer Park… it’s your ideal next home.
