Description

8 years ago they knew it was a charming 1920s house w/good bones & a large yard, what they didn't know is how much joy they would cultivate. A growing family w/a big vision moved in & began creating the stylish, stunner it is today. The crowning jewel is the sunny yard - a lush, magical blend of patio, play space & perennials – unusual this close to the city. Inside, a hardworking mudroom welcomes guests to leave their coats & worries behind.

A growing family w/a big vision moved in & began creating the stylish, stunner it is today. The crowning jewel is the sunny yard - a lush, magical blend of patio, play space & perennials – unusual this close to the city. Inside, a hardworking mudroom welcomes guests to leave their coats & worries behind. Sun-splashed & spacious, the living room has hosted many a game night alongside a wood-burning fire. Off of the living room, a den doubles as office by day, playroom by night. Over the years friends & family often shared good laughs & great meals in the dining room which leads to the retro-designed kitchen, updated w/stainless-steel appliances, butcher block counters & an island. A pretty staircase leads to the upper level which features a gorgeous, tiled bathroom & 3 spacious bedrooms. So much to love - just mins to The Heights & Dallin School!
