Bungalow/Cottage

Built in 1939 and loved ever since, this Highland Park home has bones that make you want to slow down and savor each moment from the second you walk in. The updated kitchen opens into the living and dining area with room for a proper table and a peninsula where people naturally end up on bar stools. Add to that, a gas range, updated finishes, and a layout that just makes sense. Natural light floods the space from different directions depending on the time of day. Downstairs, a second living room that works as a lounge, a home office, or wall it up and call it a third bedroom. Your call. Outside is where this home gets whimsical. The ash tree anchoring the front yard is the oldest on the street, original to the home from 1939. Beside the porch, a Japanese maple that earns its place every single fall. Out front along the park strip, a fire maple puts on a show all season long with leaves so red they stop people mid-walk. Native grasses return tall and green each year and ask almost nothing of you. Out back, the Yoshino cherry blooms in season, a Zelkova flowers through spring, and three slender sweetgums turn a beautiful red-orange in fall. The bee garden is lavender and hydrangeas. Everything was planted with intention. This home has been cared for the way people care for something they love. Minutes to Sugarhouse Park, I-80, and downtown. A location that quietly makes your whole life easier.
