MLS # 1499524
This is Cody’s home in the Maryland, and we’ve been drooling over it for years. For those just tuning in, allow us to introduce you to #208. It’s located on the second floor of South Temple’s historic Maryland Building and the interior is, as we’ve declared time and again, the “spatial equivalent of a hug.” Built in 1912 as luxury apartments for wealthy miners in Salt Lake City, the Maryland has seen a plethora of tasteful (and historically-respectful) updates in recent years.
The design is its modern complement. This particular unit saw a full remodel when it was purchased seven years ago. New paint throughout, fresh hardwood stain, and a custom kitchen lifted this vintage beauty straight into the 21st century, and each room was completely, carefully, overhauled. (See PRESS on this space from over the years here, here, and here.)
Lighting (both vintage and newly-sourced) that’s been carefully-selected to make this entire home shine…in all regards.
Updates here run the gamut, from electrical work (dimmable can lighting added throughout) to speakers hidden in the ceiling of every room. Additionally, custom built-ins in both sunrooms and the dining space are included.
Though the space has been beautifully updated, careful measures were taken to maintain historical integrity–seen most notably, perhaps in the original woodwork/moldings and French doors that remain perfectly intact (unpainted…untainted).
The platform bed includes dimmable floor lighting and there are built-in, hidden consoles on each side of the bed for nightstand-esque storage needs (outlets included). The stove surround in the kitchen was created to maximize storage–16 wine bottle (or Pellegrino) spots included–and adds a touch of mood lighting to your cooking efforts. And the aforementioned built-ins you’ll find in the east sunroom provide a good bit of hidden storage (note: the custom-made cushions and pull-down projector screen make for the perfect movie night or small guest room, too).
A deeded parking spot comes with the unit (and the current owner has a lease for an additional space, if desired). Plus, given that this unit is on the northeast corner of the building–and thus less exposed to the noise of South Temple–you’re in for a quiet bit of good living. The Maryland is stately, secure, and immaculately maintained—not to mention perched on one of the most beautiful streets in the city.
