Bonus Room Above Garage – 3 Challenges

Hey everyone Brian Olsen here. I am in Pleasant Grove at a new listing that is at 748 West 1116 North (PG). It’s a great location; this home is on a quiet street and it’s just a fantastic home.

A few things I want to just mention, well one thing I wanted to show you. The buyers, when they purchased this home, after they purchased it they took what was just a carport and they got a plan and they put in footing, foundation, everything that’s required and did a two-car garage oversized and then they did a bonus room.

Now three things that are always hard with the bonus room above the garage and this owner has done an exceptional job. You’ll love this when you come and see this home. One of the things is a transition; the owner took the garage and they made it an extra height in the garage and so there’s a transition going up into the bonus room. But versus being awkward or just not looking well they had these steps and it’s going up from the kitchen and just it really turned out nice.

So that’s one of the main things. The other thing is the exterior; the exterior is always tough to match the bonus room to the existing home, and you can look on my listing and see the outside. After they built this bonus room they redid all of the siding so it blends in perfectly.

Okay the third thing is in a bonus room is getting the temperature, to to be able to control the heating and cooling. What the owner did with this is they put a separate furnace and AC unit for this bonus room.

And so this bonus room is just awesome; you’ve got plenty of lighting and you’ve got LED can lights, you’ve got two fans; both of them have the lights on the fans, you’ve got two windows on this end, you’ve got another window on this end. And let me just show you these views here really quick, looking outside this window up in the mountains.

Anyway, give me a call, contact me, come and check out this home; it’s a great listing. Again Pleasant Grove is just a great place; it’s close to shopping, close to I-15, close to the mountains. Anyway, you will love this bonus room on this home. Talk to you soon.

Best Regards,

Pleasant Grove Dream Home

Hey Everyone! I am in Pleasant Grove with a good friend and we just listed his home here in Pleasant Grove at 748 West 1160 North and it is just a to-die-for home. 
I’ve got the owner here, Trevor, and he is just going to give you a quick synopsis of what he’s done to this home. He bought it in 2004 and he’s just done, I mean it had 1900 sq. ft. when he bought it, these are just row houses, built the same way; it has just under 2600 sq. ft.
 So I’m going to let him share with you a few things he’s done really quick and then get a hold of me and come and check out this home it’s an awesome home.Trevor, you’ve got the floor. You bet, I’ll do my best here. 
Well, one of the first things we did was replace the deck here; took the old deck and put a new one on; Trex Deck. And then we’ve added in a batting cage which is something the kids have fun playing with. But we re-sided the entire home after we built an addition on, go ahead, keep talking, I’m just pushing buttons, resided the entire home and then put architectural shingling on the roof. We put vinyl windows in, we added a second air system for this unit here and put it on thicker walls so that we could make that room cool down really nice for family and heat really well, we’ve gone throughout the entire home and re-carpeted and added custom cabinetry and done work in the bathroom, added a jetted tub, and it seems like just about every room in the home, I think, has changed. 
Okay, let me add a couple more things really quick. Can lights, built in 1979, he put can lights all over the kitchen, the living room. This room above the garage is awesome, it’s just a big open room, like he said it has it’s own air conditioning, the garage is oversized, finished, painted, it’s cleaner than probably my kitchen. 
Anyway, they’ve just done a ton of things, if you’re interested in Pleasant Grove give me a call, private message, text, carrier pigeon, whatever, and come and check out this home and have a great weekend, talk to you later.
Best Regards,
