I Found You a House To Buy, Two Houses Actually


Along with this spirited spring
we are having, my family is seeing some major changes in our lives. My grandmother moved out of her lovely white bungalow--all lined with roses--to join the ranks of other swinging senior citz at a retirement home. Across the street lives my brother Matt and his wife Katy who intend to buy my parents home who are moving to Missouri as missionaries for three years.

All of this means of course, that there are some great homes for sale in our neck of the woods. If I haven't convinced you of the sweet offerings of Provo on this blog so far, either I've got more work to do, or you haven't had enough time delving into my archives.

Let me introduce you to these two fine homes, may I?

One is a smaller home and the other a large family home.

First
Grandma's house:


Cozy fire place room for your great couches.


This kitchen wants you to eat healthy.


Place your breakfast table here, and read the Herald.


Shower tile style.


More info from our cousin Katie:
It is a one level 3 bedroom 2 bath house with one living room and kitchen/dining and laundry with lots of roomy closets. It is on almost a quarter acre in an awesome neighborhood, close to BYU. It is in perfect condition to move in with no work needed! We have updated the whole house including the following:

Beautiful original hardwood floors refinished
Great New Corion countertops
New Vinyl windows
New carpet
New paint everywhere
Fireplace
All new plumbing fixtures in bathrooms and Kitchen
New slate 16x16 tile
Glass tile backsplash, shower surround, and bathroom backsplashes
New light fixtures
New Jetted tub and toilets

Call 801-669-0033 ask for Katie, tell her c jane sent you.

Next, my brother Matt's house:


Can't you picture your next Family Home Evening here?


Or your next Sunday dinner here?


The children, sadly, do not come with the house.


But if you do buy this home, please note: my brother Matt will be your bishop.

Take it or leave it.

More info:
Five bedrooms, three baths, 3,900 square feet. In a Best of Provo neighborhood.

Call Matt @ 801-370-0471 for more info. Tell him his favorite sister sent you. Well, I mean, if I wasn't his favorite sister I am now. What a sell!

p.s. In case you are the next owner of these two homes, Welcome to the Neighborhood!

I want Matt's house!

Kelly said...

Good luck selling those houses. They look awesome! I wish we were moving back to Provo.

Glad to hear that your parent's house will stay in the family- not like it's any of my business. But that is a cool house and it would be sad to see someone else buy it and junk it up.

Wow my hubby might actually consider living in utah, for Matt's house is wonderful and I am in love!

Really cute houses. Just curious, I live in Missouri and was wondering what area your parents were moving to. Hope the baby comes soon and everything goes well.

Matt's house has some great built-ins! Love that old school look. He must live close to downtown, because the newer neighborhoods left all that cool styling behind.

Debbie said...

I've got relatives looking to buy...do you have asking prices? That will let them know if it's even a consideration. Love the houses. Whoever ends up buying will be lucky to have your family as neighbors.

Love Matt's house! If we were looking to move I would give him a call. But as it is...

Love the glass tile! I want that house just for the bathroom! The woodwork in the family room is awesome too! Now this is in the tree streets? I'm going to have to check it out!

Chablis said...

If only I could convince my hubby to move to Utah!! Those houses are very nice with a LOT of character. I'm sure they'll be gone quickly.

Susan said...

OOOOHHH, so nice I would consider moving to Provo, but I can't bear leaving my 80 degree Spring weather here in Southern California. (Did you say it is warming up to the 60's there?!)

tharker said...

Oh, how I wish we could move to Provo because your brother's house is PERFECT for us. We want a 1 story rambler that is not too small. Like I said...it's perfect!

Let's see....how can I talk my husband into moving to Provo???

Sarah Garner said...

Do you know the asking price on your brother's house?
I am seriously interested but I don't want to bother him if it's out of my price range...

Mrs. Cropper said...

whoa, so many changes! i would want matt and katy's house, except i'm still dreaming about owning g-ma tillie's house someday. best neighborhood in america. amen.

Carrie said...

this is totally random, but I saw those ducks on the mantel in matt's house, and I am wondering if I could find out where to get those? I need to get one more for a gift for someone and can't seem to track them down. thanks! my email is carriegrover at gmail dot com if you could let me know. (p.s. I am a friend of jayne wells that's how I got to your site)

Just a thought... said...

We would love to move back to Utah (land of our birth!). Could you email me the asking prices of both houses? Not sure if the market has gotten back to our price range yet. I love your brothers house though my husband is wanting to down size. [email protected] Thanks and good luck with the new baby. Hope it comes soon, safely and ...comfortably!

Daralyn said...

Oh My Gosh! I took at picture of your grandma's house a few years ago when I drove by (very stalkerish!) I told my husband that the yard was my goal. I wanted rose bushes everywhere! Love it!

Josh said...

What is the brick section to the right of the fireplace?

Sherri said...

Your brother Matt's house is so charming! It sounds perfect for my family - to bad we're not moving to Utah ...
