Overview
Description
Created by joining three separate residences into one, this 14th-floor unit at Cambridge Tower has a footprint no standard condo plan could reproduce. From one end to the other, views are part of the architecture. Floor to ceiling windows and multiple balconies look across the Capitol, downtown, UT and miles of horizon, giving each room its own outlook and turning sunset into a nightly event.
Inside, the aesthetic is tailored and traditional, set against the building’s unmistakable midcentury bones. Hardwood and stone floors, layered crown molding, coffered and tray ceilings, paneled walls, extensive built-ins give the home a collected feel. Instead of forcing the entire residence into one oversized open room, the floor plan moves through multiple living and dining areas, creating distinct places to host, read, watch the city or settle in privately.
A dedicated office keeps work separate, while the gallery-like passages connecting the rooms provide even more space for art and display. The former muti-unit footprint also solves one of high-rise living’s usual weak spots: storage. Cabinetry, bookcases, and display shelving are worked into the home at nearly every turn.
The long kitchen takes that practicality even further with extensive prep space and enough cabinetry to make downsizing optional. Beyond the residence, Cambridge Tower places UT, the Capitol Complex, Dell Seton Medical Center, the Moody Center, Bass Concert Hall, museums, parks and downtown within easy reach. The HOA covers utilities, high-speed internet and cable, while residents enjoy 24-hour security and concierge service, an attended parking garage, a heated pool and spa, fitness center, meeting space and rooftop terrace.
Adjacent Unit F is also available for separate purchase, offering the unusual opportunity to own an additional residence next door. Altogether, this is a property shaped by three original addresses, a landmark building and views that never let you forget where you are.
