Windermere Real Estate (Draper)

Where else can you find this much charm, this much yard, and this many updates just minutes from Downtown Salt Lake City for under $500,000? Welcome to 661 Post Street, a classic red-brick 1950s bungalow tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and offering the kind of character and functionality that are getting harder to find this close to the heart of the city. Inside, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the main level, plus an additional 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom downstairs. Original hardwood floors have been beautifully refinished, fresh paint gives the home a clean and updated feel, and years of thoughtful improvements by the current owners make this one truly move-in ready. Even better, the home features fully paid-off solar panels, with the current owners reporting electric bills generally under $10 per month. Step outside and the possibilities only grow. The large, usable backyard offers plenty of room to create the garden you've always wanted, add a play area, entertain, or simply enjoy all that open green space. A covered patio just off the back of the home creates the perfect spot for summer dinners and relaxing outside. And for a little extra charm, established grape vines produce grapes each year that the current owners have used to make homemade grape juice and jam. The location is hard to beat. Downtown Salt Lake City is approximately five minutes away, putting restaurants, entertainment, shopping, sporting events, and everything happening in the city within easy reach. There's even a neighborhood playground right on Post Street, along with convenient access to the Gateway, Granary District, Jordan River Parkway, and other west-side recreation and amenities. Solidly built, thoughtfully updated, energy efficient, and full of character, this is the kind of home that proves you don't have to choose between a big yard, a quiet neighborhood, and being minutes from downtown.
