Haxton Place holds an enduring and distinctive place in Salt Lake City's legacy. You'll be carried away to another time and place as you pass through the sandstone archways at the corner of South Temple and Haxton Place. The picturesque cul-de-sac is lined with stately homes and a canopy of mature trees, reminiscent of a prestigious English enclave. In 1909, the street was touted as "One of the most handsome and exclusive residence sections in the city" in Goodwin's Weekly Newspaper. The homes were described as "Graceful expressions of utility" by the Salt Lake Herald Republican in October of 1909. While it's been more than a century since these statements were printed, they still hold true. The ivy-covered estate holding court at the far end of the lane is 35 Haxton Place. 35 Haxton Place on the east side and 34 Haxton Place on the west side. Each of these properties are currently available for sale. Built in 1907 for members of the city's high society, these halls exude an air of historical significance. Many elements of the original craftsmanship continue to shine, such as the grand staircase and exposed beam ceilings, validating its place on the National Historic Register. The current owners have gone to great lengths to accurately restore the home to its proper state of grandeur. They carefully researched the home's provenance before refurbishing original elements such as the light fixtures and woodwork. Many practical modern updates have been made in recent years as well, such as the well-appointed kitchen that glows with natural light. Newly completed professional landscaping of the side yard aligns perfectly with the home's historic character and provides the perfect setting for garden parties. A greenhouse is attached to the lower level of the home for year-round gardening and a two-car garage can be accessed through an alley. Surrounded by historic homes and an immaculate garden, you will likely forget that you're just a stone's throw from downtown. Salt Lake City's finest restaurants and cultural institutions are minutes away. A quick drive up South Temple will take you to the University of Utah. This property is a treasured piece of Salt Lake City's history, a testament to the enduring power of quality craftsmanship. It also holds the promise of a bright future, with many more stories to write.
