Single Family Home for Sale

This STUNNING, efficient, spacious house in one of the most DESIRABLE locations in SLC (the 9th & 9th neighborhood) is a definition of a perfect "dream home." Its beauty, charm, and ambiance are enhanced with a high-energy-flow design, a floor-plan assuring the highest level of comfort, and many other features that may exceed your expectations (even those you didn't know you had). You realize this house is very unique the moment you approach it. Each Utah sandstone step leading to the front door has its "character" embedded in the sea of greenery. This is an enchanting "replica" of the 18th century English cottage gardens, informal and intimate, mirroring the aesthetic and mystery of nature. The "whimsical" character of miniature English landscaping continues into the backyard with a water feature and patio as its focal points. There is also a tree-house and a green-house! Fruit trees (2 apricot, 1 nectarine, 1 apple) and a grape (concord and green) arbor assure your healthy living with annual harvests. And... If you like clean lines of "Jardin la franaise" in its Americanized form, you have plenty of lawn to enjoy it! This is a corner house! From the very beginning of its construction, the house was designed to be functional, elegant, and cozy: A family "sanctuary." As a bungalow/cottage it was known as the Steiner Model House. The first floor includes a foyer; 3 bedrooms; 2 bathrooms; a newer kitchen; family and formal living rooms (a Great Room!); a den, and a mud room/laundry room. Two fireplaces: An antique wood stove and a gas one! Current owners added the second floor in 2005, maintaining the house's original character and increasing its functionality and efficiency. The second floor consists of a fabulous master suite and a big, family room. All full of light and positive energy like everything else in the house with many windows facing all cardinal directions. The owners love their house. They have invested a lot of time and money to make this home magical, beautiful, and efficient for their family. They were not planning to sell their dream house but... While "[D]reams have only one owner at a time," one owner may have more than one dream. Now, when they are pursuing a new dream, they wish for the house to be sold to another family who would cherish it as much as they have. No investors. Thus, if you are looking for an amazing house in an incredible location (including the best schools) with very low utility bills to pay, DON'T miss this great opportunity!
