Some homes are simply houses. Others are a special piece of history, and 517 N. Center Street in Lehi is one of those special places.
Built in 1921 by prominent Lehi resident Alphonso W. Davis, this remarkably well-preserved Craftsman home offers a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and character of an earlier era, while still providing many of the conveniences of modern living.

Original Character, Beautifully Preserved
From the moment you step inside, the details tell the story.
Original quarter-sawn oak floors, gumwood trim and built-ins, stained-glass windows, antique light fixtures, cast-iron radiators, and a beautiful tiled fireplace have all been carefully preserved. These aren't simply decorative touches, they are the kinds of architectural details that are becoming increasingly difficult to find in homes today.
The quarter-sawn oak floors are particularly beautiful, showcasing the distinctive grain and craftsmanship associated with homes of this era. Combined with the warm gumwood, leaded and stained glass, and original fixtures, the interior has a sense of character that simply can't be recreated in a newer home.
At the same time, the property isn't stuck in the past. The kitchen has been updated, along with the plumbing, electrical, and other systems, creating a thoughtful blend of historic charm and modern convenience.

A Porch Made for Lehi Living
One of the home's most inviting features is its spacious covered front porch.
It's the kind of porch that makes you want to slow down for a while. And with Wines Park nearby, you can even enjoy the park's Sunday concerts from the comfort of your own neighborhood.
The location also makes it easy to enjoy many of the conveniences of downtown Lehi. The elementary school, recreation center, library, City Hall, shops, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance.
More Space and Outdoor Possibilities
The home offers more than just its beautiful main living spaces. Downstairs, you'll find a large recreation room and a walk-out basement, providing additional space and flexibility.
Outside, the large lot offers plenty of room to enjoy the mature landscaping, including established apricot, cherry, and pear trees. There's also RV parking and solar panels, which will be paid off by the seller at closing.
And then there's the zoning. The property is zoned R-2, medium-density residential, which may offer additional possibilities for the property. Buyers interested in those possibilities should verify permitted uses and development requirements with the City of Lehi.
