About This Home
A rare find in Midway's historic downtown: the 1896 Neilson-Johnson-Besendorfer Home, a charming piece of Midway history set on a deep, flat 0.35-acre lot with room to grow. Built from Midway's distinctive pot rock, this character-filled cottage sits just steps from Main Street and is one of the few properties in the heart of town offering both historic character and the space and flexibility to expand, add on, or simply enjoy as is. Inside, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, plus a den, offers character and charm at every turn. Over the past five years, the home has seen substantial updates, including a new roof, HVAC systems, updated electrical, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, and new interior and exterior doors. The bones are historic. The systems are not. Outside, the deep, level lot creates something increasingly difficult to find in downtown Midway: space. There's room to garden, play, entertain, create outdoor living spaces, or envision a future expansion while still enjoying the home exactly as it is today. Walk to Main Street for dinner, coffee, and local shops, or make the quick ten-minute drive to Deer Valley's East Village. The Provo River is nearby for fly fishing, Soldier Hollow for cross-country skiing, and two reservoirs put endless days on the water within easy reach. And Midway itself speaks for itself, with incredible dining, shopping, recreation, and the small-town charm that makes this community so special. Come experience this special piece of Midway history, the generous lot, and the possibilities that come with a home in this location.
