For Sale: 100 Year old Bountiful home with TONS of personality.
*** I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A SELLER'S AGENT ***
I am selling my home in Bountiful, Ut. It is a cute house on a good sized lot in the very best part of the city (the historic old fort district). The neighbors are great, the house is close to everything you need, the schools are among the best in the state. You don't have to fight with the steep roads like you do if you go up the side of the mountain. You really can't ask for a better location.
The house is currently For Sale By Owner (FSBO), and I am currently not looking for an agent. If you are an agent and you have a client who you think would be interested, we still may be able to work something out, but I will use my father (a local broker) as a seller's agent.
Current asking price: $209,999. Feel free to make any offer, though.

History
As far as I've been able to tell, this house was first built in 1912. You'll be able to celebrate its 100th birthday if you buy it.
The house and yard had not been cared for at all for something like 20-25 years before I bought it. When you stop by to look through, remind me to tell you about the various really weird things we had to clean up. For the past 7 years or soI've been loving the house into good repair. However, there is still plenty of work that could be done, and that is why I've got it priced so low.
Specs
- Central Heating/Air
- ~ 2100 sq/ft
- 3 bedrooms + one possible bedroom.
- 1 full bathroom + one cute little 1/2 bath downstairs
- Finished basement
- Partially fenced yard
- Lots of space to garden
- Current asking price: $209,999
As I finish up projects around the house, the price will most likely go up.
Why that price?
Well, three or four years ago, the house appraised at $210,000. Yes, I know the housing market took a dive. However, since the appraisal, I've done at least the following:(It's all I can think of right now)
- Built a fence separating the yard from the neighbors.
- Added on central air
- Built a big closest in one of the bedrooms.
- FINISHED THE BASEMENT. Including adding a second bathroom and widening the staircase that goes downstairs and a whole bunch of other stuff.
- Built a retaining wall outside.
Neighborhood
This house is just a block east of main street in Bountiful, and it's a fantastic neighborhood. It's close to everything. You're within walking distance to:
- 2 grocery stores (Smith's Marketplace and the grocery store formerly known as "Albertson's")
- 4 or 5 restaurants (Iceberg, Marie Calendars, Einstein Bro.s Bagels, Marcello's, I've probably forgotten a couple)
- 2 Drug stores (Rite Aid & the Medicine Shoppe)
- Bountiful Library
- Two city Parks
- 1 Soccer Field
- Many Dental/Doctor/Chiropractic Offices
- In case of emergency, you're only a few blocks down the hill from Lakeview Hospital
- Three blocks from the location of the Bountiful Farmer's market.
- Lots of great community events - Bountiful Handcart Days, Summerfest, etc.
All this, and it still feels like a neighborhood, because you're off the main roads.
Schools
Some of the best in the state.

Why Are We Selling?
In November of 2007, my wife and I lost our baby boy Spencer during childbirth. We've greived much and healed much since then, but now we feel like it's time to start over in a new place.
