Heart of the Home—The Kitchen

This is a GREAT kitchen, truly the heart and soul of the home. A 12-foot counter separates the cooking area from the eating area—a space big enough for an 8-foot table. The kitchen includes a built-in propane stove/oven in a central island with tile counter, a new dishwasher, a newish fridge and swing-out chairs along the counter for breakfast, lunch or snacktime. Like the rest of the house, the kitchen also features glass doors onto the deck. A large laundry room includes counters and loads of cabinets, plus a brand new washer and dryer (negotiable). The master bedroom suite is on the north side of the kitchen, separated from the rest of the house, and another large bedroom with full bath is reached on the south side of the kitchen. The door to the two-car garage with workbench and one of the two stairways to the lower level are on the west side of the kitchen.

The kitchen opens onto the living room, and vice versa.

Hardwood floors and cabinets under a large skylight give the kitchen a warm, homey feel. Lots of counter space and huge cabinets for food, dishes and kitchen equipment. A central island for the stove and efficient workspace for the chef, who can monitor guests and family in the living room or in the dine-in eating area on the other side of the counter.

A 15-foot central counter with attached swivel chairs provide for easy serving
and convenient conversation with the chef.

A large and bright dining area easily fits an 8-foot table in front of doors to the deck.

The Master Bedroom Suite

The spacious master bedroom suite occupies the northern wing of the house off the kitchen. With a shallow vaulted ceiling, 12 feet of glass doors onto the deck plus other windows to the north, the room is both airy and cozy, with a large master bath (2 sinks, jetted tub and shower) plus a big walk-in closet.

The master bedroom is about 21 x 25 feet, with loads of floor space and wall space for dressers, comfy chairs
. . . and dogs (not included).

Lie in bed and watch the sun rise over the mountains across the Valley.

The master bath starts with sink, counter and drawers under a small skylight. The walk-in closet is to the right,
and the rest of the bathroom . . .

. . . to the left includes a window, a large jetted tub, walk-in shower and toilet.

The Living Room(s)—That’s Living!

The front of the house is all glass, with doors giving out to the deck from two living rooms under a 15-foot cathedral ceiling. Great light inside and amazing views across the Valley outside.

This is the view from the front door and entry into the living room.

. . . and back the other way from the living room to the entry (left) and the rest of the living room.

Another view of the living room—this one is about 14x21 feet—from the entry.

And the other part of the living room, stretching from the front deck to the kitchen, is about 14x28 feet
with two sets of doors opening onto the deck.

The double living rooms create both a large, open and airy space, with two distinct identities.

Family Room & Fireplace Room

Two stairways—one from the front entry and the other from the kitchen—lead to the lower level, where there are four bedrooms, two full baths and two HUGE family rooms, one with a fireplace and both with glass doors opening onto the yard.

The larger family room—“The Blue Room”—features a full kitchen (plumbing exists for sink to be cut into the countertop),
perfect for entertaining or for use as an in-law apartment on the lower level.

The Blue Room is about 21x35 feet, with a 15-foot food storage pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelves, a full bath,
and a second walk-in storage closet arrayed along the inside wall. A bay window and glass doors
bring in lots of light and access to the yard.

The Blue Room is perfect for a game room, a pool or pingpong table, exercise equipment or other multi-uses.
The storage rooms and bath are behind the doors along the wall at left.

To the south of the Blue Room, a second family room (15'x35') includes a fireplace
and sliding glass doors opening onto the yard.

The front stairway, leading up to the front entry from the fireplace room. The other stairway connects
the Blue Room and the kitchen.

Downstairs Bedrooms

The house—more than 4,500 square feet—includes five bedrooms plus the master bedroom suite, 4-1/2 baths (and a jetted tub), 11 closets, a big food storage pantry downstairs and two other storage rooms, 9 outside doors—including five floor-to-ceiling doors to the deck and yard, a two-car garage, a stone fireplace and a HUGE family room (with second kitchen) downstairs.

Here are three of the downstairs bedrooms.

This guest room (14'x15') is one of four bedrooms on the lower level . . .

. . . served by this full bath, one of two full bathrooms on the lower level.

A second 14'x15' bedroom, with a slightly smaller one (12'x15') with walk-in closet across the hall.

A larger (15'x25') bedroom/office at the front of the lower level has sliding glass doors opening onto the yard.

Come on In! The Front Door

The house sits back about 100 feet from the road, which has little traffic—tractors and balers as often as cars and school buses—behind a thick, shady screen of willows along the seasonal roadside creek. Redwood steps and deck, including a nice bench under the locust tree, lead up to the front door, which is framed in a warm, welcoming wall of red-brown fieldstone. Huge windows provide great views and wonderful light throughout the house.

The front walk, steps and deck leading to the front door, sheltered under deep eaves
and a cooling locust tree, flanked by flower gardens.

There’s a bench outside the front door, a comfortable place for a chat,
the morning paper or a good book.

The deck starts at the front walk and curls from the south side of the house around the front (east) side and past the kitchen and master bedroom suite to stairs down to the back yard. The custom-built railing ensures maximum views from the deck and inside the house through floor-to-ceiling windows across the entire front of the house, living room, kitchen and master suite.

Once inside the front door, the entry hall takes you into the living room (straight ahead or to the right),
or turn left into a sitting room/office.

Best Views in the Valley

We think the views from our deck are the best in Cache Valley. Facing east directly across Valley View Highway from downtown Logan, we gaze across cultivated fields to Cutler Marsh and across the to Bear River Range and Mount Logan. To the south and west, we look down the eastern face of the Wellsville Range and the sharp, steep cone of Mendon Peak. Hike out the driveway and up the hill to state and national forest less than 2 miles uphill. Two miles south is the road from Mendon up to Deep Canyon and its spectacular trail to the top of the Wellsvilles and the annual Hawkwatch. Saddle up a horse, or strap on the x-country skis or snowshoes, and head out over fields covered with Utah’s “greatest snow on Earth.” Bikers speed along the Mendon Road (Hwy. 23) from Wellsville north along the west side of Cache Valley to Clarkston, Newton and other points north.

Pre-dawn view from our deck of a sliver moon rising above Logan.

in the middle of the Valley, at Cutler Marsh.

September fields and a nice rainbow from the front deck, looking northeast.

We take the dogs across the road every morning to do their “business.”
It’s a great, open frolic, and a wonderful way to start the day.

A bright, early winter day the view from our road south at the Wellsvilles and Mendon Peak.

Another stunning sunrise in early winter from our front deck, due east toward Logan.

And even in winter, Lulu likes to look out from the deck.

Or the dogs celebrating the first snow in the yard on October. A pink sunset between a couple of those big spruces in the side yard. Yet another beautiful sunrise across the Valley. Or these—two different views on two different mornings. We walk the dogs across the road and into the rolling foothills below the Wellsvilles. On this morning, storm clouds coming from the north while sun shines on Cache Valley. On this morning, fog coats the center of the Valley, while we sit in winter sun higher up the Wellsville bench. It’s a beautiful place to live.

A Huge, Shady Yard

The house is surrounded by a huge fenced yard and dozens of mature trees—huge blue spruce, pines, black willows and bearing fruit trees (five kinds of apples plus plums). Mountain views in every direction—the Wellsville Range and Mendon Peak just out the driveway, and breath-taking panoramas across the Valley of Cutler Marsh and the Bear River to Logan, 9 miles due east, the Bear River Range.

Mendon Peak from the end of the driveway of Center Street (County Road 000 North).

An enormous deck wraps around the south and east sides of the house, letting off into the back yard
outside the kitchen and master suite.

The front yard is shaded from south summer sun by huge, old black willows, plus 50-foot spruces and pines.
Great views to the east across the Valley to Logan and the Bear River Range.

A seasonal stream runs in the ditch alongside the road beneath the big willows,
carrying snowmelt down from the Wellsvilles even in August.

Great Outbuilding, 2 Fenced Paddocks

A metal Quonset building, 40x80 feet, with electric and water—perfect for livestock or machinery or both, with two fenced paddocks, each about an acre, on either side.

Inside the Quonset hut (equipment not included). Half the floor is cement, half dirt, with shelving and workbench. Electric and water.

Paddocks west and southeast of the building for easy access. Directly behind to the north, 10+/- acres of land planted alternately in hay and barley. Irrigation water and four shares water rights from uphill spring.

View from the west paddock. Even the corrals and Quonset hut have great views.
