Single Family Residence In Centerville

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 simply cannot be recreated. Set on approximately .85 acre at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, the estate includes a 3,679 sq. ft. main residence and an approximately 2,806 sq. ft. detached barn and guest building, offering exceptional versatility across both structures. Lovingly cared for by the same owners since 1982, the home has been restored and updated for modern living while retaining its historic integrity. Original wood floors, soaring ceilings, tall windows, beadboard, transom glass, handcrafted details, and multiple fireplaces preserve its character. The addition and detached barn were designed by renowned architect Robert McArthur to complement the original 1875 home. The barn is a destination of its own, featuring a game room and beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath guest or mother-in-law quarters with a restored vintage stove. Upstairs, a spacious studio and workshop offer room for creative pursuits, hobbies, storage, or other flexible uses. City-approved plans for covered parking are included. Outside, a stream and waterfall wind through mature grounds filled with heritage almond, tulip, and black walnut trees, grapevines, patios, gardens, a wishing well, and the original Centerville Express playground. Minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, hiking, mountain recreation, and historic downtown Centerville, this is more than a historic home. It is 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. Main residence square footage is from county records. Buyer to verify square footage, permitted use, and all information.
