1411 S UTAH ST #3, Salt Lake City, UT 84104

This desirable unit is south-facing, with endless natural light that floods the home, and its passive-solar design keeps it cozy in the chilly months and cooler in the warmer months. The land is a gardener's delight, with a south-facing front porch perfect for growing plants like figs and pomegranates, and a back patio that stays secluded, shaded, and green year-round. Natural light floods through the windows all winter, adding to a great quality of life. This updated unit has a newer high-efficiency boiler for radiant heat (in-floor heat in every room) and hot water, a new kitchen island, and new carpet in the second upstairs bedroom. There are three bedrooms, a third-story loft space great for kids, meditation, or art space, and a family room with wonderful light that currently serves as an office space (but could just as easily be a kids' play room, reading nook, or other project space that would benefit from the beautiful windows and high ceiling of the space. The open floor plan, with a modern open staircase, spills out to the private backyard and yard. The yard has drip irrigation and is fully xeriscaped, with mature green out every window. Wasatch Commons is a Co-Housing community (find more at cohousing.com) where residents are consciously committed to living and participating as a community. Co-Housing has been described as 'A modern take on an old-fashioned community' with neighbors that get to know one another on the shared land, while each home is private. This park-like community has 26 households on 4.3 acres, with a shared clubhouse called the Common House as the social center. It includes a large dining room, kitchen, sitting room, playroom, guest rooms residents can use for friend/family visits, a craft area, and a laundry room. They also have a shared workshop and workout rooms, along with a garage and garden area. Many neighbors garden in either the community garden beds, wildflower gardens, or the mini-farm lovingly called the 'Farmette' that grows produce for the community throughout the year, providing free produce to neighbors. The community has solar panels on the carports that service the common areas (all electricity in shared buildings is solar!). Every unit has one covered parking space, a storage unit in the carport, and other parking in the general lot. They have potlucks/meals twice a week (Sunday evening at 6:00 pm and Wednesday lunch at noon) and a Saturday caf breakfast at 9 am. There is one all-community meeting a month, plus committees for management, celebrations, landscaping, kids coordination, maintenance, and occasional community work parties to keep things tidy. A newly purchased unit must be lived in for two years before being eligible to be rented. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate only.
