A diamond in the rough in Old Town Park City

Perched at the top of Prospect Avenue, where Old Town’s storied past meets sweeping alpine views, 60 Prospect Avenue is more than a redevelopment opportunity. It is a chance to own and reimagine a piece of Park City’s history.

Originally built in the late 1800s during the height of Park City’s silver mining era, this home began as modest housing tied to the town’s early growth. Known historically as the Nellie Trevithic House, it reflects a time when Park City was a rugged mining community long before it became the world-class destination it is today. 

Over the years, the home passed through generations of miners and early residents, each adding to the story of Old Town living. Homes like this were built simply and for function, but today they represent something far more meaningful. They are part of the architectural and cultural fabric that defines Park City.

This property is designated historic, which brings both responsibility and opportunity. It ensures that future design will respect the character and scale of Old Town, while still allowing for thoughtful, modern interpretation.

The home has now been taken down to its core, leaving 1,097 square feet of unfinished space across the main and lower levels. What remains is not a finished product, but a rare blank canvas in one of the most sought-after locations in Park City.

Submitted architectural plans are designed to honor the home’s historic roots while introducing a refined, modern mountain aesthetic, effectively saving a buyer months of design and planning time while also reducing meaningful upfront costs.

From this elevated vantage point, the views are exceptional. You are looking out over Old Town’s iconic rooftops, toward the ski runs and surrounding mountains. It is a perspective that connects you not just to the landscape, but to the legacy of the town itself.

Old Town remains one of the few places in the country where a true mining-era neighborhood has evolved into a world-class resort while maintaining its original charm. Many homes date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, when Park City was one of the most productive silver mining districts in the United States.

Living here means stepping into that history while enjoying everything Park City offers today. Walk to Main Street for coffee or dinner. Ski at Park City Mountain just minutes away. In the summer, access miles of trails right from your door.

And then there is something almost unheard of in this setting: dedicated parking. In Old Town, that alone is a meaningful advantage.

This opportunity is not for every buyer. It is for someone who understands that the real value lies in what can be created here. A home that honors its past while delivering modern design, livability, and long-term value.

In a market where most homes reflect someone else’s vision, 60 Prospect Avenue offers the chance to create your own. To take a piece of Park City’s mining history and shape it into something entirely new.

This is where history and opportunity meet.
