Home Details for 957 FIRST AVE

Don't miss your chance to own one of the Lower Avenues' most iconic historic homes. An rare 1891 Lower Avenues residence listed on the National Historic Register, offering nearly 5,000 square feet-an exceptionally rare size for the neighborhood. Fully restored from 2020 to 2025, this 6-bedroom, 6-bath home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates throughout. A show-stopping original spiral staircase anchors the home, while soaring 12-foot ceilings and a remodeled kitchen with back pantry, wall ovens, sink, and coffee station elevate everyday living. The property includes a true mother-in-law apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a private walk-out entrance. Sold fully furnished, it has operated as a highly successful short-term rental for the past three years, offering excellent income potential or flexible living for extended family, guests, or students attending the University of Utah. Upstairs features three bedrooms, including a primary suite with en-suite bath and fireplace, while the converted attic provides a beautiful bonus space or second primary suite. The remodeled backyard offers multiple patio areas, a pergola, and planter boxes, plus alley parking for three cars with room to expand the carriage house. Walkable to cafes, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites. Please see upgrade sheet attached for a complete list of renovations and improvements.
