ravo's newest real estate reality series "Sold on SLC" is set to shine a light on Salt Lake City's bustling housing market, where a unique design trend has caught the attention of homeowners nationwide: the Costco door.

    This clever feature connects a home's garage directly to its pantry, making it easier for families to unload groceries and store food. According to "Sold on SLC" stars Matt Jones and Kenny Sperry, this practical detail has become a must-have for many local clients, particularly those with large families who prioritize self-sufficiency.

    In Utah, where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is prevalent, having ample food storage space is crucial. As Jones explains, "In the Mormon religion, there's a strong emphasis on self-reliance, which includes being prepared for emergencies and storing food." The Costco door allows families to efficiently stock their pantries with essentials.

    Jones and Sperry note that this functional design detail benefits any homeowner, not just those in Utah. They highlight the unique aspects of SLC housing inventory, where homes often feature large pantries and clever storage solutions like the Costco door.

    As for their personal homes, Jones and Sperry have distinct styles. Sperry's home is a spacious 4,000-square-foot property with a large yard, perfect for his family's needs. Jones' house, built in 1995, has undergone significant renovations to suit his taste, featuring a unique "cave" in the basement.

    The first season of Bravo's "Sold on SLC" premieres on December 4 at 9 p.m. EST, offering a glimpse into Salt Lake City's vibrant real estate market and the innovative designs that make it stand out.
