By now, we hope you know that condominiums in cool, old-timey, historic buildings are totally our thing. Take the Sampson Altadena at 3rd & 3rd, or the Ivanhoe just up the street, or the Maryland on South Temple, or the Westgate Lofts on 200 S…we love ’em all, and they’ve graced our website innumerable times. But combine a lovely 1901 brick-and-sandstone building with luxurious living spaces and the magic of the avenues (one of SLC’s most sought-after neighborhoods) and we’re absolutely over the moon. That’s the Drayton. The building’s historic charm remains completely intact, but with only six units and very little turnover, opportunities to call the Drayton home have been hard to come by. In fact, there hasn’t been a unit for sale here for almost two years. But lucky you, wait no longer. This particular unit hits the bullseye in so many ways. Plenty of space with a welcoming, open layout; fantastic, roomy kitchen; hardwood floors; plenty of natural light; loads of amenities (think dedicated off-street parking, private storage closet, and in-unit laundry). So, give us a call and we’ll give you a tour.
Paul Svendsen has been a manager of congressional campaigns, a practitioner of law, and a renovator of more than his fair share of homes. As such, he’s received our COLLECTIVE stamp of approval as a certified jack of all trades, but it’s his unwavering love for all things real estate that plays so fondly on our heartstrings. Over the last decade, Paul has managed more than $20 million in architecture and construction projects. It comes as no surprise, then, that he’s got a weak spot for old houses (he’s a member of the SLC Historic Landmarks Commission) and big-time fixer-uppers, and he’s had a hand in the resuscitation of several dilapidated buildings. He’s just as comfortable, however, with condos, town homes, and new construction, and he does a fair share of work with investors and commercial real estate. Summed up simply, no matter the style of real estate services you seek, Paul’s wealth of experience and easy-going style are sure to fit the bill.
