Beautiful West Jordan home located next to Oakcrest Elementary. The home is a well designed 2 story that gives you the open floor plan feel. As you enter there is a formal living room. Then as you enter the family room you can see how open it is, with the family room, kitchen, and dining areas connected. As you reach the top of the stairs there is a loft with a built in desk, giving a little extra room upstairs. The master bedroom is complete with an attached bathroom. The bathroom has plenty of counter space and a separate shower and tub. All the bedrooms are a good size giving you plenty of space. The finished basement gives you that extra room for whatever you may need it for. The yard is fully landscaped. It is fully fenced and has a swing set and extra storage shed, as well as a raised garden. This is a must see home!

Beautiful Rambler with a View

Red Sign Team (Keller Williams Westfield Real Estate) — Thu, 26 Dec 2013 04:46:29 -0800

We would like to introduce you to our home. Our home is a beautiful rambler in a very friendly neighborhood. We love it and would love to stay in it, but are unable to do so. Here are some of the things that we love about our home. We have some wonderful upgrades in our home that did not come with the original package. Some of the upgrades that we particularly love are the beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwood floors in the entry and kitchen areas, our fireplace with a built-in fan, beautiful vaulted ceilings, maple cabinets and banisters, and the bay windows in the master bedroom and the kitchen nook. Our appliances are all stainless steel with a gas range and oven. The laundry room has both electrical and gas hookups. There is switched wiring for lights under the kitchen cabinets and a light over the kitchen island. We have a built-in spice rack and vertical tray dividers in one of the cabinets for things like cookie trays. We also have ceiling fan braces in the living room, master bedroom, and front bedroom/formal living room. We have an upgraded master bathroom with both a tub and a separate shower. The master bathroom also has a granite counter top. The bathrooms and laundry room have tile floors. If you are as big a fan of Christmas as my husband, you will love the switched outlets in the eaves. He had several extra outlets put in so that lights could wrap around the entire house. We absolutely love the unobstructed view of Maple Mountain that we have out our back windows. We have a fully landscaped and fenced yard. We have 3 gates in our fence. A gate on either side of the house in the front and one gate in the back yard. The gate on the north side of our home is a double gate. We have garden boxes that will provide a nice area for a vegetable garden or flowers, which ever you prefer. We have a big patio in our back yard that is great for bbq. We also have a place for an above-ground fire pit. We have a very friendly neighborhood. There is a great mix of younger couples, families with children, and retired couples. Several holidays during the spring, summer, and fall there are block parties. These include holidays such as Memorial Day, 4th July, and Labor Day. Our LDS ward is very friendly and outgoing. Our bishopric is friendly and hard-working. We live within walking distance to our LDS ward building, which is also the Stake Center. If you love the great outdoors, we live very close to several beautiful canyons. Spanish Fork canyon is the closest, but the others are Hobble Creek canyon, Payson canyon, and Maple canyon. These canyons are approximately 20-30 minutes driving distance away from our home. There are campgrounds and lots of hiking trails up each of these canyons. Thank you for taking the time to consider our home as your future home. SEE THIS HOME

FHA Loan Amounts Have Changed!

Red Sign Team (Keller Williams Westfield Real Estate) — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:52:05 -0800

The FHA’s Office of Single Family Housing announced this week that on January 1, 2014, the government agency will implement new loan limits on FHA financing. The previous loan limits were established under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and expire at the end of 2013. What does this mean for you? If you were thinking of getting a loan where you only have to put 3.5% down you might not be able to get as expensive as a house. The FHA loan limits for non-metropolitan areas shall be set at 115% percent of the median home price for the area; the loan limit was previously set at 125%. When thins won't affect you. If you have already started your loan you are fine. Or if you are looking to use another loan program, like a convential loan, you won't need to worry. If the county isn't listed on this chart you can't get a loan over $271,050. These changes will be effective for January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. After that they may change again!

Provo Dream Home

Red Sign Team (Keller Williams Westfield Real Estate) — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 07:57:38 -0800

We built this house in 2007 and it is truly a dream home. Every detail, from the architectural plan to the door knobs, was selected especially for this home. It has never been harder for us to leave a home! The commute to the east coast, however, no longer makes sense and it is time for us to move. The first step in building was finding the right lot and this lot is incredible. Spectacular views of Mount Timpanogos that will never be obstructed made this the perfect location for this dream house. We selected a house plan from Southern Living. It is called “Abberley Lane” and was the 2002 Idea House for the magazine well-known for its taste and style. The house plan was designed by famous architect John Tee and modified to fit this lot and Utah. It was a real advantage to be able to see pictures of the rooms before we built. We knew the house worked functionally and aesthetically. Delightful surprises awaited us as the home went up. We found new views from every window: Rock Canyon, Utah Lake, the valley and even Mount Nebo! One day, construction started on the wrap-around porch in the front and continued around the side. As the builders came to the back porch, as planned, we shouted, “No! Stop!” The porch would have obstructed the jaw-dropping view of Mount Timpanogos. We are very glad we were visiting the construction site when the porch was being constructed! The porch became a large deck, where we have had many cook- outs in the shadow of the mountains, watching the sunset over Utah Lake and the western mountains. We are convinced that there is no better view in Provo. We selected wide-plank birch floors, custom knotty alder cabinets and granite everywhere. It is wonderful to eat meals in the breakfast room, with its amazing views. The dining room is currently being used as a music room, but the floor plan allows for great flexibility. The house features an all house built-in intercom system, making it easy to call folks to a dinner cooked in the gourmet kitchen. We wanted to try a house that had two dishwashers and we will never go back to just one dishwasher again! The double ovens make baking for crowds a snap. There is plenty of storage and counter space. The built-in music system extends to the kitchen/great room, library, master bedroom, master bathroom, game room and outside deck. The theater room and game room have been the site of many good times with family and friends: pool and ping-pong matches, “Lost” and “24” marathons, and slumber parties. The first floor master bedroom has every convenience and you will enjoy the gas fireplace on wintry nights and the privacy of your own deck in the summer. The large walk-in closet is made even better by a stack washer and dryer located directly opposite the closet. Talk about convenience! The deep soaking tub and the shower with two heads, one a rainfall, make this bathroom a virtual spa. Given all of these wonderful places in the home, it might surprise you that our favorite spot is the library. There is a roaring wood fire in the fireplace just about every cold winter evening. It is great to read, knit or watch TV by the fire – the perfect way to relax at the end of a long day. True serenity! The house is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants, but the real treat is the proximity to Brigham Young University. It rarely takes us more than 10 minutes to get home from the most crowded football or basketball game. We can walk or bike to campus for lectures, classes and concerts. The neighborhood is very friendly and people are always ready to help. We have an annual neighborhood Christmas dinner, with different courses at different houses. The Fourth of July breakfast is at the end of the cul-de-sac. We rarely get to shovel the snow from our driveway, as the Scouts usually beat us to it. There is a nice mix of older couples and young families in the ward. It is a model of Christian living. The family that moves into this house will receive a very warm welcome from neighbors.
