this was salt lake city’s first neighborhood, established in the 1850s. it sits above salt lake city’s downtown area, giving you the feel of being above it all, while still in the middle of everything. homes are nestled on the sides of the foothills to the north of the city. residents tend to be politically progressive. homes have a well-tended, “artsy” feel. the avenues is the home of many professionals in salt lake who want a short commute to downtown, the university of utah or the capitol. that vibe meshes nicely with the older, victorian architecture of the homes you will find here. memory grove and city creek canyon are popular areas for hiking and outdoor recreation.
perched high in the upper avenues, this property offers some of salt lake city′s most breathtaking views-spanning downtown, the great salt lake, and the oquirrhs. the sale includes two parcels (tax id #09-30-479-007, 0.28 acres, and #09-30-478-015, 0.08 acres) for a combined 0.36 acres. the existing structure, while technically renovatable, has been partially demoed for years and is not currently habitable. most buyers will view it as a premier building site, but those wishing to preserve the home′s grandfathered height and footprint may do so by retaining a portion of the original structural wall and foundation during redevelopment-this allows continuation of the current height before modern limits apply. included materials: architectural plans, zoning correspondence, asbestos report, prior survey, and a demolition bid (~$34,000). the lot sits minutes from downtown, the university, and trailheads, yet feels private and elevated above the city.
property is sold as-is, where -is.
