350 W Pierpont Ave APT W201, Salt Lake City, UT 84101

You re renting a lifestyle perk as much as you re renting a place to sleep. A historic building. Exposed brick. Reclaimed wood. White walls. Hardwood floors. Flowing natural light through corner windows facing both the mountains and the city. Finally, a place that doesn t feel like a lifeless hotel room, the way many downtown apartments do. The kind of place that friends compliment and complement, where you re proud to bring them before walking out your door and directly into the downtown life. The Downtown SLC Farmer s Market is a half-block away in both winter and summer, as are Twilight summer concerts. But a building separates you, eliminating the riff-raff and sound from your home life. Thirty walking seconds from your bed is morning coffee at The Rose Establishment. Or your lunch at Finca, Caputos, Carluccis. Or your dinner at Pallet, or Cucina Tosana. Or your bike repair. Or your bodega for that forgotten avocado. Or a number of small, quiet, independent businesses that line your street. Natural light. The only corner, second story condo in the most unique condo building in this city. The east- and south-facing windows provide picturesque sunrise light, while the southern window allows the afternoon light to be as bright as the day s last rays. Your entire day can be spent without turning on lights. Clean, crisp, freshly-painted white interior walls contrast the original brick exterior walls perfectly. A major and minor wall have been refinished with thin, repurposed wood from California highway snow fences, attached by a soy-based adhesive. The building has been reinforced for earthquake protection, and the HOA has earthquake insurance, if you re paranoid. Custom-built kitchen shelves are built of raw, reclaimed wood and handmade supports. A generously-sized bathroom is clean, simple, and features ample storage and a full bath/shower with clean white tile. The reclaimed wood of the handmade clothing rack won t support you hanging on it, but is sufficient for your clothes that must be hung. Original hardwood floors accent this Salt Lake City-defined Historic Building s brick exterior. It was a residential renovation for housing during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Now a variety of wonderful people call it home. Mailbox and parking lot are just downstairs. It s the closest second story apartment to the stairwell, but you can t hear other people walking past, as only a few other units are on this floor. Gas stove and new dishwasher and refrigerator complement an adequately simple kitchen. New water heater won t go out on you, and front-load high-efficiency washer and dryer are included for your use. Custom ceiling-mounted storage is easy to reach and can hold a few bins of the stuff you don t want on the floor. Google Fiber is connected and ready. It s $50 a month without any weird unexpected fees. It s fast and doesn t fail. A large, locked basement storage unit is available for nominal fee. Water, trash, sewer fees are included in the HOA, which I pay for you. Electric bills are consistently sub-$30, frequently sub-$20. Gas is just a few bucks a month.
