730 E HARRISON AVE, Salt Lake City, UT 84105

Some houses have good bones. This one has good bones, great light, a killer front porch, and a plum tree that absolutely shows off. This is where your morning can start on the porch, your afternoon can happen in the sunshine, and your evening can end with a quick stroll to 9th & 9th. This home sits on a quiet, friendly street, while still being close to Liberty Park, playgrounds, dog-friendly spaces, the bike-friendly stretch of 800 East, and easy freeway access. Walk through the custom mahogany front door and you’ll find an open, inviting main floor with plenty of natural light and an easy flow for everyday life or a house full of friends. The south-facing kitchen and backyard soak up the sunshine, making this home feel bright and happy in all the right ways. And then there’s the backyard, xeriscaping that keeps water usage down while staying ready for year-round play, a game of fetch, lounging and whatever else your household throws at it. Drought-tolerant landscaping keeps things beautiful without demanding a ton of water. Out front, the mature plum tree puts on a spectacular early-spring performance, exploding into light pink blossoms like it has something to prove. Add in the porch, the sunshine, the location, the character and the fact that you can bike, walk, play, eat, drink and get on the freeway without much fuss, and you’ve got a pretty special place to call home. Charming house, excellent neighborhood, ridiculously good location.
