Deep in the heart of Bountiful is a beautiful, stately red brick home, fenced and nestled between mature trees, shrubbery, oak brush and a lot of acreage for children to play and have fun with their imagination. This stately home has wooden beams in the family room, a marble entryway, a beautiful front oak door with cut glass from Beehive Glass, 5 bedrooms, 3 family rooms with fireplaces, a large game room, 3 1/2 baths, floor to ceiling wooden covered shelving, 2 basement storage rooms, a casual dining room off the kitchen, French door entry into the family room and dining room, 2 covered porches, a 20×40 foot swimming pool and a 3 car detached garage. In the spacious formal living room, the marble fireplace and dental crown molding is beholding to the eye. Just off the living room is a half round sunroom with six four-foot windows which are beautiful to look out while the sun is setting. At Christmas time the windows reflect the lights on the Christmas tree which sets the feelings of joy, merriment and love during the Christmas season. The formal dining room has dental crown molding, French doors and windows to look out at the beautiful surroundings. There is a huge back porch the length of the house. Many parties and family gatherings have congregated on the porch and have surrounded the swimming pool. It is a place of family retreats and receptions. There is peace and tranquility while watching little quail run across the back wall. To the South is a blockhouse for little girls to “playhouse” and plant flowers for their little dollies. Several fireplaces in the family rooms make it cozy for family to watch movies and establish wonderful friendly gatherings and memories. This house has been a sanctuary for cats and dogs, horses, fish, birds, quail, squirrels; even a peregrine falcon made its home for a couple of years in the trees. This home and it’s 2.4 acres of land was the gathering place for the neighborhood children. There have been many hours over the decades of time where friends and siblings made irreplaceable memories like skiing in the pasture, having go-cart races down the driveway, learning how to ride bikes, playing ping pong, shooting basketball hoops, sliding down the slippery slide, having jumping contests from the swing set, and playing “hide and go seek” and “kick the can.” It was and can be an absolute heaven for family life, gatherings, friends and tranquility.
