Welcome to this storybook brick bungalow cottage in Highland Park, showcasing timeless Sugarhouse charm with modern conveniences. A distinctive clay tile roof and white picket vinyl fence set the tone, with a pear tree in the corner and perennial plantings throughout the yard (though not currently in bloom). Inside, natural light pours into the formal living room, where a marble-surround fireplace creates a cozy focal point and a bay window offers beautiful mountain views. A separate nook adds extra character, while an arched entry leads into the dining room with built-in glass-door shelving (doors currently stored in the basement). The updated kitchen features quartz counters, white cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows throughout the main level. From the dining room, step down into the expansive family sunroom filled with windows and anchored by a gas fireplace (not currently in use). This space opens to a screened porch running the length of the home, the perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing. The main level also includes two bedrooms and a full bath, accented with vintage crystal doorknobs, plantation shutters, and vinyl windows for added efficiency. Downstairs offers a spacious third bedroom with walk-in closet, a bath with walk-in shower, a large laundry room, a true second family room, storage, and a versatile flex area that could easily serve as an office, workout room, or fourth bedroom. The private backyard includes a wrought iron gate enclosing the back driveway, and a shed door that opens directly to the Parleys Trail-perfect for hopping on your bike or enjoying an evening walk.
