Motherlode E: Soon to be GBG (Gone, Baby, Gone)

Attention: If you want 3-bedrooms, less than 2 blocks to Town Lift, designated parking and ready for a remodel we have a short window for you to move on this Motherlode condo.

This is not my listing, but is listed by a colleague at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty. These photos aren’t mine either, but are from our rockstar photographers. 

It has private access from the garage, and two-car designated underground parking. Right at 6th St. and Park Ave, next to the Crescent Tram trail. It’s literally this unit with the stained glass windows:

Quick Location Video: Victorian Village

My Quick Location Video series addresses what I see to be a pretty common theme in real estate, rental, and tourism: the writer just assumes you know what the names are for all the areas and that you know what those names mean. I’m guilty of falling into that trap myself, so here is my attempt to absolve myself. These little videos will just give you a quick rundown of what you can find in the area and what some of the key features are.

Today I feature Victorian Village condos, in Old Town on Empire Ave, walk through one listed condo, and discuss why it’s important to read the HOA meeting minutes, budgets, and financial statements when shopping for a property in an HOA community. I filmed this in May of 2016.

This condo shown here was listed by CooperWynn Real Estate, but has since sold. Please contact me to see what’s online in Victorian Village currently or to be notified as soon as one comes on the market.

Newsletter 12/15: TWO FEET of New Snow, New Projects, and Maurice Sendak

Happy December!

We’re shoveling out from a whopper of a snowstorm yesterday afternoon/night/this morning. Salt Lake got a whopper last Monday. The snow stake at Snowbird disappeared last night (and the comments are A+, “just quit your job”).

One of the best things to do in Park City after a huge snowstorm is to book yourself into Deer Valley’s Fireside Dining. We’re talking carving off the melty bits of giant wheels of Swiss Raclette cheese, placed precariously close to a roaring fireplace and serving it with cured meats and pickled things; basically my favorite assortment of foods. There are other stations of course of roasted meats and simmering pots but honestly, I’m good with 10 or 12 plates of that cheese and a bottle of wine.

323 Park Ave: A Love Story

Hello, My name is Kristina and I have a thing for historic buildings. Particularly historic buildings in the Wild West. So lucky for me, I sell real estate in an old silver town turned ski resort. Two years ago I toured 323 Park Ave, A CONVERTED SWEDISH LUTHERAN CHURCH OMG. And, it’s now for sale. If it lasts that long, it’ll be on Open House tour Wednesday, December 9, 2015, and you’d be crazy to miss it. So get ready. Imma lay down some sick history beats.

323ParkAveI saw this house during the Park City Museum’s Historic Home Tour. If you’re ever in Park City in June you have to attend this event.

It’s just a few doors up from where I was living in Old Town and true to rumor, is a converted church and on the national historic registry and obviously the Historic Sites Inventory with Park City. An English-born butcher John William Bircumshaw (who also owned a saloon at 455 Main) deeded the land to St. John’s Swedish Lutheran Church in 1906. In 1907 the structure was built at a cost of $2,197 to serve the 31 local Lutherans (9 Swedes and 22 Finns, for those keeping score at home).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble!

A quick little video from the Silver Lake area of Deer Valley Resort about a week prior to Deer Valley’s opening day. (Only a small portion of this video is me making turkey noises.)

ATTENTION: IT IS SNOWING

Isn’t this exciting?

Except I really could stand to know where that box with all of our frequently-used winter gear went from the move. Good thing I labeled it “COATS – DON’T LOSE.”

Canyons Village

The genesis of a new ski season and a new, combined resort: Park City Resort. Park City Base is opening November 21, 2015, and Canyons Village (shown here) is set to open November 27, 2015.

So you know, SQUATS.

A Cutie on J Street in Salt Lake City

I had the chance to preview a home in Salt Lake City, Utah, this morning on J street. Up on the northeast side of the valley, up behind the University of Utah (the Greater Avenues) area. Homes in this area are old, beautiful, often perched on a hill and frequently they have larger lots and tree-lined streets. I APPROVE.

428 J St-1

This house (428 J Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103) is coming on the market in the neighborhood of the mid-$500,000s. I’ll update you here as they firm up the price.

Five Seconds of Goofing Off and Also a Great Faucet

Five seconds of me horsing around on open house tour, filming vertically, before my phone stopped recording because I ran out of memory. Many wrongs do not make a right but IT DOESN’T MATTER LOOK AT THIS FAUCET.

The listing, while it lasts, and full photo gallery can be found here: http://kristinawatkins.summitsothebysrealty.com/eng/sales/detail/280-l-773-nnxy7q/exceptional-custom-built-home-in-eagle-pointe-park-city-ut-84060
