Southeast of the city, on a typically green little side street near the base of Arabia Mountain, is 3704 Salem Trail, a quintessential 1,500-square-foot, 3/2, late-century ranch (that’s been completely remodeled from head to toe). The two-car garage leads to a traditional small-family format, upgraded with hardwood floors and a clean color palette throughout. The common area — living room, kitchen, dining area — maintains a healthy sense of flow for entertaining, while being easy-going for nights in. The kitchen, in particular, received a lot of love during the renovation, with the clean lines, new appliances, custom cabinetry, and stone tops that make it a functional, natural hang-out space. The primary bed and ensuite make getting ready in the morning a breeze. One of the two additional bedrooms could easily be converted to a home-office-with-a-daybed type of setup: handy, depending on how much longer you’ll be living on Zoom. A
second full bath rounds out the space. Great spot for animals, by the way. Super quiet streets and weekend hikes at Arabia Mountain aside, the backyard is fully fenced and dog-ready, so it can do its thing while you’re still nursing your first coffee. We see 3704 Salem Trail ending up with a buyer who’s solidly thinking about the not-too-distant future. A super-flexible space that is easy to grow into, and, with the increasing popularity of properties in this region of the OTP, not a bad investment, either. 3704 Salem Trail is unique among its competitors. You could not get a better design for your long-term use. The friendly price is well under what you'd pay for new construction, similar square footage with close-in access to both I-20 and I-285 for easy commute.
