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.
Gutted to the studs and expertly completed through the HOA approval process by one of SLC’s Parade of Homes designers, this Upper Avenues townhome is a rare find — single-level living, an oversized built-in two-car garage, and finishes so thoughtfully curated you’ll feel them before you can name them.
Wood-paneled ceilings. Heated bathroom floors. Hand-selected stone and light fixtures. A primary suite with an oversized steam shower and soaking tub wet area that genuinely impresses. Every detail here was chosen with intention.
The main level was made for living: a massive entertaining island anchors the open kitchen, a mudroom with dog wash keeps life organized, and a flexible second room works equally well as an office or guest space. Downstairs, two ensuite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, alongside a secondary entertaining zone with gaming, a full wet bar, and a pre-plumbed sauna and cold plunge gym room with rubber flooring and a second washer/dryer. This isn’t a bonus space — it’s a whole second lifestyle.
