Engel & Volkers Salt Lake

THIS IS A GEM!! Tucked into one of Murray's most beloved neighborhoods, where neighbors gather for frequent parties and lifelong friendships are built, this enchanting bungalow cottage on Rainbow Drive offers something increasingly rare - a home that feels like a private escape from the outside world. Set on an extraordinary .44-acre lot, the grounds are nothing short of magical. Towering mature trees, including a large apple and pear tree, lush landscaping, blooming irises, roses, and seasonal florals create layers of color and beauty throughout the seasons. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows frame the backyard like living artwork, filling the home with natural light and peaceful garden views. Warm, bright, and thoughtfully designed, the home offers an inviting layout ideal for both entertaining and quiet everyday living. The primary suite is privately positioned on its own side of the home, separated from the additional bedrooms to create a peaceful retreat within the house itself. But it's the backyard that truly transforms the property into something unforgettable. Just off the home, a spacious deck overlooks the stunning grounds below, while a second sitting area centered around a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect atmosphere for cozy evenings under the stars. Further into the yard, a tucked away platform offers an ideal setting for yoga, meditation, morning coffee, or simply unwinding beneath the trees. And then comes the surprise few expect. An ivy-covered fence appears to mark the end of the yard... until it quietly opens into a hidden secret garden beyond. Around the corner awaits an expansive additional garden space complete with a storage shed, children's swing set, and endless room for vegetables, flowers, herbs, and fruit. Whether you dream of creating a thriving garden-to-table lifestyle, expanding outdoor entertaining spaces, or simply enjoying your own private park-like setting, the possibilities here feel endless. The additional land also opens the door for future opportunities, including the potential for an ADU, guest house, studio, multigenerational living, or supplemental income potential. It's the kind of property that instantly transports you - feeling more like a secluded countryside retreat than a home in the middle of the city. And while the property feels worlds away, the location keeps you incredibly connected. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, freeway access, and everyday amenities, you're also only approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Salt Lake City and Salt Lake International Airport, allowing for both peaceful retreat living and effortless access to the city. Rarely does a property offer this level of privacy, charm, warmth, and wonder all in one setting.
