Single Family Residence In Park City

Over the last century, a wood sorter, a miner, a reverend and a modern architect have all been part of the story of 139 Woodside Avenue. Originally built around 1904 during Park City’s mining era, this historic Old Town home has quietly witnessed the town’s transformation from rugged silver-mining camp to world-class mountain destination. Over the years, its owners included miners, immigrants, clergy, and local families who helped shape early Park City history. One early owner, Wolfgang Gieresch, was the son of German immigrants. Another, Thomas Galligan, served as a beloved reverend at St. Mary’s Church nearby, with ’Galligan Bowl’ later dedicated in his memory. Later owners included Park City miners who lived here long before ski lifts, luxury homes, and Main Street galleries defined the neighborhood. Today, the home has been dramatically reimagined into a sophisticated modern retreat while still honoring its historic roots. Behind the classic Old Town exterior lies an unexpectedly luxurious and contemporary interior filled with Venetian plaster walls, steel architectural details, curated lighting, and a strikingly open floorplan rarely found in historic homes. A dramatic 12-foot wall of folding glass doors dissolves the boundary between indoors and outdoors, opening to a private backyard sanctuary with hot tub and entertaining space. The chef’s kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a hidden pantry, custom built-ins, and a 600-bottle wine cellar designed for gathering after ski days and summer evenings alike. And while the home’s roots stretch back more than a century, its lifestyle is unmistakably modern: ski access is just a short walk away, Main Street is moments from the front door, and the property has become notable enough to be featured in both Dwell Magazine and the Park City episode of Staycation. Some homes simply exist. Others become part of a town’s [hidden information] Woodside has been doing that for over 120 years.
