The Regent Condominiums in Downtown Salt Lake City have a different flavor than their older sister Richards Ct. They are sleek and modern, with unusual floor plans like the 07 suites.
Each floor of the Regent from4-16 has the same configuration , and quite honestly, the 07 units are my favorite! Course I have never liked “traditional”, so this is right up my alley! These condo units face south and west , so the sun w
Floors from 4-16 are configured the same
ill be filtering in during the winter (and for those of us who are S.A.D.S in the winter.. that is marvelous) and they are one of the 4 suites on each floor that has a balcony.
What I find intriguing about this particular floor plan is the quirky bedroom shaped like a triangle. The outside of the Regent building starts it’s uni
que curve here, so the floor to ceiling windows will frame a a gorgeous view
(especially the higher you go), and there is ample room for a nice comfy king bed. The master bath has a separate tub and shower (I’m a bath person so that appeals to me), walk in closet, and well, the whole bedroom is just entrancing.
The kitchen in the 07 suites at the Regent is a little different as well, being an L shape with an island bar. Most other units are galley type (straight line with bar in front) and a breakfast nook toward the back. The dining area on the 07 ‘s actually gives you that cityscape view from the floor to ceiling windows in the living area.
The 07 condos also contain a den (not to be confused with a 2nd bedroom as these have no windows, no closet and are a bit smaller) and a guest 1/2 bath.
This floor plan at the Regent Condos has a total sq footage of 1410 (including 115 sq ft balcony) and range in price from $435,000 to $792,000 depending on the floor you pick. (The higher you go, the more you pay!)
Reservations are being taken even as we speak on these and other units that are still available. (the Regent won’t be completed until Mid 2011, but most of the lower floors have all been taken) Give me a call for all the details or sign up to the right to get more info on other units.

Do I Need A Home Inspection To Buy A House?
Yes, most definitely! You will never hear us say…”Don’t bother with a home inspection“, and if you ever do…we have gone crazy, so run, save yourselves!
Part of the responsibility of purchasing a home whether it is your first or your last is to do your due diligence and find out every thing you can about the property before you decide to buy it. One part of this due diligence is a home inspection.
A professional home inspector will help you ” kick the tires” and poke around the house to make sure all is as it should be once you take the rose colored glasses off. This will be your opportunity to check behind the curtains, under the hood, and all the other clichés’ and really determine how sound the home is. Your inspector should be checking all the electrical outlets, the plumbing (that’s a biggy), heating and air conditioning, peering into the attic to make sure the roof is sound., exploring the basement (unless there IS no basement, then that would be dumb) to check out water leaks. Your inspector should check out the sprinkling system, the faucets, the oven, the dishwasher, and any other appliance that is negotiated in the purchase contract.
What this will accomplish is this….
- You will find out the problems that exist with the home and then, with your agent , negotiate any repairs that are needed.
- You will also find out any potential problems so that you can be prepared for the future.
Who should you get to do an inspection? There are lots of companies with professional inspectors to help you with this. These professionals will do an inspection and give you a full written report of what they find. A professional home inspection will run you from $200-300 for an average size home, a little less for a town home or condo.
You can also opt for a trusted friend or relative that is a contractor or in the building industry. The good thing is it will probably cost you less. The bad thing is in our experience they miss the important stuff (like whether the furnace is fit or needs to be green stickered) and concentrate on things that are usually beyond scope of what a home inspection is supposed to be (like wanting all the plugs moved in the finished basement because they were too far apart….true story!)
Anyway, if you want your home purchase to go smoothly and have no regrets when you move in…..Get A Home Inspection! For more information on this, or if you need a recommendation on who to call, drop us an email at loves@SALTLAKEHOMEFINDERS.com, we have several inspectors we have worked with and are happy to recommend.
