Summit Sotheby's International Realty

Tucked among the serpentine lanes of the Gilmer Park Historic District, 1265 Yale Avenue sits at the heart of one of Salt Lake City's most sought-after enclaves - Yalecrest on the East Bench. This Historic Arts-and-Crafts bungalow was designed and built by acclaimed architect Raymond Ashton. Perched on an elevated lot, it greets you with a broad, covered sitting porch that frames the mountain views. Inside, leaded-glass doors and windows lie quarter-sawn oak floors, an original and gas updated fireplace, original built-in bookshelves showcasing its timeless craftsmanship. Sunlight pours through an abundance of oversized windows and the dining room features a wood-beamed coffered ceiling with antique light fixtures. The large kitchen has been tastefully updated with solid maple cabinetry and vaulted ceiling skylights. A south-facing sunroom gathers warm afternoon light through walls of windows, making it the perfect spot for an after-work read, winter houseplants, or sunset dinners. The unusual craftsman Stair-case takes you with ease down to a large open ballroom style lower level with original hardwood floors, high ceilings and a Deco style bar. The garage / Studio has incredible potential to be an art studio, workshop or converted back to a 2 car garage. The garden has historic perennial garden beds, trees and climbing vines. Sellers lovingly maintained this home and kept the historic preservation intact. Walk to 9th & 9th, 15th & 15th, Liberty Park, and Sugarhouse. Just minutes from downtown, U of U, Westminster, Huntsman Center, SLC International Airport, trails, local shops, restaurants, and more!
