The Hovey House - Saint Mary’s / SLC

2514 Beacon Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84108

The Hovey House, a charming mid-century gem nestled in St. Mary's at the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, has undergone a two-year transformation. Once abandoned, severely damaged and facing demolition, MCM Rescue meticulously remodeled the home to preserve its architectural essence while embracing modern living and environmental standards.

The thoughtful restoration of the Hovey House not only celebrates mid-century modern architecture but also showcases how older homes can be given a new lease on life, harmonizing with their surroundings and offering a perfect retreat close to nature.
