A Piece of Salt Lake City History Just Hit the Market: 101 S 600 E #5
/If you've ever walked past the Cornell Apartments in Central City and wondered what it would be like to live inside a piece of Salt Lake history, now's your chance to find out. This charming two bedroom, one bath condo at 101 S 600 E #5 is on the market for $299,900, and it's exactly the kind of home I love getting to share with buyers.
The building itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, built in the early 1900s during a period when Salt Lake City was filling in with the kind of walk-up apartment buildings that gave neighborhoods like Central City their character. There's a warmth to living in a building like this that new construction just can't replicate. You feel the history in the details, from the proportions of the rooms to the way light comes through the windows.
This particular unit comes in at 635 square feet, a comfortable and efficient layout for a first home or a downtown pied-à-terre. And unlike a lot of historic buildings downtown, this one comes with a genuine perk: dedicated parking right next to the unit, which anyone who has hunted for street parking in Central City will tell you is worth its weight in gold.
Location is really the headline here. You're a short walk from downtown, from the restaurants and coffee shops of 900 South, and from everything that makes Central City one of Salt Lake's most walkable neighborhoods. It's the kind of spot where you can leave the car parked and still get almost everywhere you need to go.
Homes like this one don't come up often, and when they do, they tend to move fast. If you've been waiting for a historic condo that fits a real budget, this could be the one. Check out the pictures and details at the link below and reach out and I'll walk you through it.
