252 N 400 E, Centerville, UT 84014
What's special
NEW PRICE - $1,650,000. A rare opportunity to own one of Centerville's most distinctive historic estates. Built in 1875 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the William Capener House is one of those properties that simply cannot be recreated. Set on .85 acres at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, this remarkable estate includes the 3,679 sq. ft. main residence plus an approximately 2,806 sq. ft. two-story barn-style ADU, creating nearly 6,500 sq. ft. of combined space and an extraordinary range of possibilities. Lovingly cared for by the same owners since 1982, the main residence has been thoughtfully restored with updates that retain its historic integrity while adding the practicality and comfort of modern living. This is a historic home meant to be lived in, not a museum. Original wood floors, soaring ceilings, tall windows, beadboard, transom glass, handcrafted architectural details, and three fireplaces preserve the character and craftsmanship of the home, while thoughtful updates provide the comfort and functionality expected of modern living. The barn is a destination of its own. The main level includes a game room and a beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath guest or mother-in-law apartment with a restored vintage stove, while the upper level offers a spacious studio/workshop ideal for creative pursuits, hobbies, or additional flexible space. City-approved plans for covered parking are included. Outside, a man-made stream and waterfall wind through mature grounds filled with heritage almond, tulip, and black walnut trees, grapevines, a charming 65-foot wishing well, and the original Centerville Express playground. The setting lends itself beautifully to entertaining, intimate gatherings, multi-generational living, creative pursuits, or simply enjoying a property that feels worlds away while remaining remarkably connected. Located approximately 15 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City and near hiking trails, mountain recreation, and historic downtown Centerville, this isn't simply a historic home. It's a property with a story-and an opportunity for its next owner to become part of it. Historic furnishings selected by the seller are included with the sale. Property is being sold as-is. Main residence approximately 3,679 sq. ft.; barn/ADU approximately 2,806 sq. ft.; approximately 6,485 combined sq. ft. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate and obtained from county records. Buyer is advised to obtain an independent measurement. Addition to main residence built in 2002; ADU built in 2013.
