Property Description
The "Larsen Estate" is a storied masterpiece of "castle-like" grandeur and one of Sandy's most iconic historic residences. Originally built around 1910 by town founders and featured as a 1980s TV pilot, this home was meticulously moved and reconstructed on a steel-reinforced foundation to preserve its "House That Would Not Die" legacy. Poised atop a .63-acre hillside lot, the estate offers breathtaking vistas where sunsets paint the valley to the west and rugged mountains rise to the east. This rare offering includes a highly coveted Sandy City Bed & Breakfast license, providing a unique income opportunity. The interior is a sanctuary of old-world charm, featuring a massive owner's suite and an adjoining sun-drenched garret, perfect for a creative studio or nursery. Historic formal rooms with ornate plaster and original oak floors flow into a grand expansion designed for hosting. Outside, the grounds invite private contemplation under mature trees and classic swings. Modern convenience meets heritage with dual efficient furnaces, R38 insulation, and quick access to world-class skiing and urban dining. Own a piece of history that offers a profound connection to the past and a lucrative legacy for the future. Buyer to verify all.
