Wonderful House for Sale

This beautiful family home was built in 1998 by Mike Klauk Construction. We purchased the property and found a unique floor plan and architectural style from an architect in Layton. 

1075 North Street is a quiet residential street in north Springville. It has easy access to I-15 via 1400 North and to US89/State Street/Main Street. It is a 6 mile drive to BYU or a 30 minute bike ride. Also easy access to a UTA bus stop. The three trees hiding the house are a pinon pine, chokecherry and catalpa. The neighborhood is very diverse with retired couples, empty nesters, and families with teenagers and with young children. Children go to Cherry Creek elementary and then on to Springville middle school, Jr. High and High School. It is a short walk up to easy access of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail for hiking, biking and running. Don Joaquin Street Tacos is just two blocks away.

Great room/ family room.

Notice the arches from the front door leading into the great room. Large batik quilt hangs above the stairs to the basement. 

Above the gas fireplace, notice the Armenian made tiles purchased in 1997 (part three of our honeymoon) and hand carried from the Old City of Jerusalem to then be incorporated into our soon to be built home. 

We guessed on how many we would need and ended up with enough to use in both the kitchen and the fireplace. 

Great Room: living room, dining room and kitchen

The same Armenian tiles decorate the back splash tiles in the kitchen.

During the pandemic we watched 13 quail chicks hatch in one of the window wells. 

Over our first few years in the house, I set about to install all of the landscaping. I planted lots of flowers, trees and shrubs. Neighbor Fred Geddicks and I built the east side retaining wall and then I continued that wall to encircle the back yard. The back yard includes a large producing walnut tree (l), two producing filbert trees/bushes (center), plum tree, chokecherry (good for making jam), two apple trees, a peach tree, a flowering pear (r), a red horse chestnut, a mountain ash and an autumn blaze maple. Also three terraces of raspberries and a corner of blackberries. The back yard lawn is Kentucky bluegrass and it is watered by a sprinkling system. 

The large garden in the northwest corner of the yard has been nourished yearly with mulch from the kitchen and yard and Nutrimulch. 

During the pandemic we installed a nice fire pit. 

The back yard is great for birthday party fun as well as soccer games, croquet, pool playing, partying, grilling, lounging, hammocking, reading, Easter egg hunting, bird watching and marshmallows roasting.

The front and two side yards were xeriscaped (drought tolerant landscaping). Read more about it here: http://beitemmett.blogspot.com/2021/06/xeriscaped.html. I planted 1700 plugs of buffalo grass and drought tolerant plants like pinon pine, iris, Russian Sage, swamp white oak, apricot, lavender, bridal wreath, currant etc. No springling system was installed. 

It has been a fun experiment. I usually water the front yard about once a week in July and August, but the last two years I have not watered at all in the summer and everything has survived. Photo in June 2021.

Photo in August 2021. After a few good rainstorms, the grass greened right up. 

From early spring to fall there is always something new blooming in the beds or popping up through the grass.
