I have spent years restoring this historic home myself and have created a beautiful and comfortable space. A block from the University of Utah, nestled in the University Historic District and steps from dining, shopping, parks, and recreation. Only a 30-45 min drive up three main canyons for skiing and snowboarding.
Full of original art and antiques from around the world and with a quiet, fenced yard with outdoor lounging & dining. I live here several months a year and rent out the remaining months. I invite you into my home to enjoy what it offers you! Max 4 guests. No cats, and dogs accepted upon approval.
House address: 1260 E 100 S Access to garage for parking one car: From 100 S, enter Douglas St, turn left onto the alley right after the garage on the left. At the end of the alley is the garage. The turn onto the alley is tight so you will probably have to make a 2 or 3 point turn and there isn’t enough room to turn around at the garage so you will need to back out, just be slow and careful!
Tenants in loft above garage are allowed to store items in garage and pull up to garage to load/unload for a limited time.
There are a few lovely plants to keep you company and all they ask in return is a some water and a little love. I will send reminders for when to water.

This little house is walking distance from the University of Utah which is great for attending events at the college or at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The house is very old and charming. The best part is the backyard space. It is nice to have a private place to spend outdoor time in the middle of the city.
We stayed for Sundance and had a chance to explore SLC and Park City in between movies. We found it was very easy and cheap to get around using transit, and rented a car to visit the Homestead Crater, the Ice Castles, Spiral Jetty, Promontory Point, and a few others, all of which were totally manageable from this great location. Carol was super friendly and happy to help us out as needed, the place was beautiful, interesting, and clean. 10/10 would totally stay here again.
