About 1809 S 500 E

Welcome to this beautifully preserved Victorian-style bungalow in the heart of Liberty Wells, where timeless character meets modern convenience. With more than 2,000 square feet on a .18-acre lot, this distinctive two-story home offers an exceptional blend of original craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, and spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Original details abound, including soaring ceilings, stained glass, crown molding, oak and cork flooring, and a charming clawfoot tub, while modern improvements provide peace of mind and comfort. The spacious kitchen features maple cabinetry and a generous island, flowing naturally into the separate dining room and living room. The main level also offers convenient laundry, while the two bedrooms and 1.5 baths include a private primary en-suite with heated tile floors. A second floor kitchen, bedroom and bath adds remarkable flexibility-perfect for guests, multigenerational living, a creative space, or potential rental income. Outside, the property truly shines. The stunning drought-tolerant front landscaping, raised garden beds and established flower beds with native perennials create a vibrant habitat for an abundance of pollinators, including several species of hummingbirds. The private back yard is an entertainer's dream featuring mature shade trees, a producing pear tree and a rare Italian-clone grape varietal, all creating a beautiful view from the Trex deck spacious enough for your garden parties. And then there's the parking-an especially rare luxury in Liberty Wells. The oversized, off street parking AND drive-through two-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, projects and storage. Major improvements include updated electrical, plumbing and windows. A very long list of upgrades started in 2019 with a new sewer line. 2023 upgrades included new water main, new roof and gutters, new HVAC, new high efficiency tankless water heater and water softener. In 2024 the Sellers added solar panels as well as energy star standard insulation, and in 2026 the exterior paint has been touched up and some windows have been re-caulked. Every element of this home reflects a thoughtful balance of preservation and modern living. Full of character, flexibility, abundant natural beauty, and hard-to-find amenities, this Liberty Wells gem is a truly special place to call home.
