Perry Avenue

Originally built in 1934 and fully reimagined for life in 2026. Our Perry Avenue Project in Salt Lake City’s Federal Heights neighborhood demonstrates how historical character can be carefully preserved, while modern functionality is thoughtfully introduced. This complete down-to-studs remodel included a reworked floor plan and a carefully designed adorable 100-square-foot mudroom addition that enhances everyday living. The result is a Spanish-style residence that balances timeless charm with contemporary comfort—cozy yet spacious, and finished with natural, modern materials both inside and out.

Salt Lake has never had enough of them. Spanish-style homes, that is, with all their earthy warmth, their arches, and their effortlessly authentic demeanors. They may feel like a staple in some places, but not in this city. So when one comes along in Federal Heights, fully renovated to the quality of new construction, you don’t deliberate. You move rapido.

This one has been transformed by Hive House in a 2025–2026 remodel that managed something genuinely delicate: feeling entirely fresh and full of original character. From the street, three arched windows draw in the southern light and announce the home’s personality without apology. The facade is quiet and confident with its white plaster, warm wood tones, and a splash of tile for good measure. Inside, the home rewards a slow look. Curved arches soften the passage from one space to the next, lending the home a sense of flow that feels almost bodily — like the architecture itself is receiving you. Reclaimed wooden doors, richly carved, hint at a storied history. Wood ceilings. Plaster details. Colored tiles deployed with exactly the right restraint. Terracotta in just the right proportions. The earthy palette and authentic Spanish accents aren’t decorating decisions so much as a full point of view, and it holds from the first room to the last. Two primary suites sit on the main floor — a rarity, and a genuine luxury. Designer lighting throughout, including a scalloped fixture in one of the primaries that feels like it was sourced from a very good trip abroad. The kitchen visually anchors around a bold cobalt range set against hand-painted tile — a jewel of a detail in a home full of them. The bathroom, with its arched tub surround and exposed brick accent wall, is the kind of room you photograph and pin and then, somehow, end up living in.

Custom millwork. Swoon-worthy details at every turn. A complete remodel with the soul of something that’s always been here. In a city full of homes that often look like every other, this casa, uniquely, has a look all its own.
