Meet The Cornell: A 1901 Charmer in Central City for $289,900
/If you’ve ever walked into an old building and thought, “they just don’t make them like this anymore,” you’ll understand why I love this one.
Unit 5 at The Cornell, 101 S 600 E, is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo in a historic Salt Lake City building that has kept every bit of its personality. Built in 1901, it still has the original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, exquisite light fixtures, and those wonderfully intricate radiators that you just can’t find in new construction.
But here’s the part I really enjoy. This isn’t a museum piece. The kitchen and bath have been updated, so you get modern comfort right alongside the character. There’s in-unit laundry (yes, really, in a 1901 building), a new evaporative cooler for those Salt Lake summers, and a balcony for your morning coffee or an evening unwind.
The building itself has been taken care of, too. The HOA recently replaced both the roof and the boiler, which are two of the big-ticket items that make buyers nervous in older buildings. Pets are welcome, and the property taxes are just $1,810 a year.
At approximately 635 square feet, it’s cozy and efficient, a great fit if you want a low-maintenance home with real history and a lot of heart.
The Cornell is priced at $289,900, and there’s a bonus for buyers right now. My preferred lender is offering a credit equal to 1% of your loan amount toward closing costs. Reach out and I’ll connect you with the details.
I’d love to show you around. Come see The Cornell and come home.
