This home is truly a rare gem, and I am so honored to be able to bring it to the market!” Let’s take a look inside, shall we?

The home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, showcasing a design that seamlessly blends cabin, traditional, Victorian, multi-story, and contemporary architectural styles. The property features modern amenities such as an open floor plan, stainless steel kitchen appliances, central air conditioning, and forced-air heating, complemented by multiple fireplaces that enhance the cozy atmosphere. Built with local materials, the nursery and floral room floors are repurposed from the old high school gymnasium. The beams in the back living room on the main floor are from the Park City silver mines, and the wrought iron fence in the dining room is from the old city hall. Other interior highlights include walk-in closets, two kitchens, two master bedrooms (ideal for a potential mother-in-law suite), and a combination of carpet and wood flooring.

The home’s exterior is equally impressive. Nestled in a serene setting, the backyard is a private paradise with a creek that flows from May to October, fed by irrigation and mountain runoff. You have no neighbors behind you, only the wildlife lounging under the fruit trees for a quick snack.

Additionally, there is a backyard cabin originally from Heber’s Cooper homestead. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, the architecture blends seamlessly with the lush gardens, which bloom with beautiful flowers from April to September. With two garage spaces and ample off-street parking, this residence’s convenience is a key feature.

Situated in the Wasatch County School District, the home is close to several schools with various local amenities such as grocery stores, restaurants, and parks within easy reach.
