About this home

Some homes simply cannot be fully captured through photographs or film. 700 E 16th Avenue is one of them. Perched above the city in Salt Lake City's Upper Avenues, this extraordinary residence has been thoughtfully reimagined as a refined hillside retreat where architecture, wellness, and everyday living come together with intention. From the moment you step inside, the scale of the spaces, warmth of the materials, and sweeping views create an experience that must be felt in person. Expansive covered decks frame breathtaking views of downtown Salt Lake City and the valley below, creating a natural extension of the interior and an effortless setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, and year-round entertaining. Inside, warm walnut cabinetry, natural stone, wide-plank flooring, and softly textured lime-washed walls establish a sophisticated yet inviting palette. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by Taj Mahal stone surfaces, premium appliances, and oversized sliding doors that open directly to the covered deck and views beyond. A walk-in wine room adds another layer to the entertaining experience, offering a dedicated space for collecting, displaying, and enjoying favorite bottles. The primary suite offers its own private connection to the outdoors, while the lower level introduces a true wellness retreat featuring a sauna, steam shower, cold plunge, and wet bar. With approximately 5,500 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 6 bathrooms, the home balances generous living spaces with moments of quiet retreat. Nearly 1,000 square feet of covered outdoor living further extends the experience, allowing the setting and views to become part of daily life. Just minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, the University of Utah, trail access, dining, and the best of the Avenues, this is a residence designed not simply to be admired, but to be lived in beautifully. Every detail is compelling, yet it is the feeling of being here that leaves the most lasting impression. The photographs are stunning, but they only begin to tell the story. This is a home that truly must be experienced in person. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate only and were obtained from county records.
