Authentic turn-of-the century home built in 1891 shortly after Grand County was created out of the southern half of Emery County. Adobe brick covered in stucco, natural sandstone window casings and ten foot ceilings are a few of the more striking details. The front door of the house is accessed from the poured concrete sidewalk which curves around to several steps that culminate on a semi-circular parapet walled front porch. Upon entering the living room to the right are two double hung windows that are nearly eight feet to the top of the windows under a coved ceiling. There is a free-standing gas stove in the corner of the dining room it serve to augment the radiator heat now used in the house. Through the dining room to the north is a "master" bedroom which has sealed exposed adobe brick walls, two large windows and a built-in wardrobe. This bedroom also has a door accessing the bathroom. The bathroom has a large glass block architectural window and two other windows and an alcove with a stacked washer/dryer. From the dining room going west you enter the kitchen. The kitchen has wonderful original wood cabinets, a built-in china cupboard and a tremendous porcelain double sink with drain boards on each end. Above which is a large multi panned south facing window. There is a large glass block window on the north wall of the kitchen next to a door accessing the north wing of the house. The north wing of the house is currently a rental unit. The rental unit is comprised of a living room/kitchenette, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The living/kitchenette area has an entrance door on both the east and west sides of the room. On the north of this room are the bedroom and the bathroom. The layout of the house lends itself to: living in the front and renting the back; renting out the front and keeping the back for owner retreats to Moab, or living in the entire house and using the connecting door from the eating area and the kitchen and having all the natural light (morning and afternoon) brightening up the kitchen/eating area through the glass block window. The lot itself has several mature deciduous trees and several mature evergreens and a lot of ivy and vines on the houseWith all the trees, shrubs, ivy covered walls and trumpet vine arbor you might expect to see Bilbo Baggins of the Hobbiton-in-the-Shire come sit with you on the patio.
