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.

Solar Panel Savings

Hello, I’m at the home that I have listed on 1160 North 748 West and I want to talk about solar panels for a minute and just some advantages and the price or benefits of solar panels. 
But I want to give you a little background; this home, the sellers purchased this home and soon after they purchased it they did a remodel so the home had a carport here they put in this over sized garage and I’d love to talk to some more about the garage, it’s an awesome garage. But above the garage they did a bonus room. What they did in this bonus room is they added its own air conditioning unit and furnace. Then they put on a new roof, they took off the swamp cooler that was on the existing home, put in an air conditioning unit for the home and then put on a new roof. 
So clearly their power bill has increased because of the work that they did; the addition on the home and the addition of the furnace and the a/c. 
So anyway, a couple years ago they decided to get some solar panels. They got Vivint, there’s a lot of companies that have solar panels, they got a 20-year lease on some solar panels from Vivint, and I don’t know if you can see them; there’s some on this side of the home and then there’s some back up on this other side of this roof here. 
And Vivint, they pay it’s about $56 a month they make a payment for this 20-year lease for these solar panels to Vivint. And then what Rocky Mountain Power does is each month they adjust the power bill depending on how much was generated from the solar panels the previous month. Before they got these solar panels their power bill was at about $230 a month. Within just two or three months after getting the solar panels they were down to paying Rocky Mountain Power seventy dollars a month and Vivint that 56 dollars a month, so almost half of where they were at before they got the solar panels. 
Currently they’re paying $35 a month to Rocky Mountain Power, $55 or $56 to Vivint; so less than half. So the lease you can purchase or buy out the lease it’s at about $19,000 left in the lease. If you continue the lease, which is assumable, so if you are interested in this home get a hold of me. The solar panels, the lease is assumable, so you can just continue. 
The panels are owned by Vivint so they’ll take care of them and do any maintenance that you need on that. But you can clearly see that over the lifetime of these panels you are going to save some money, and typically on any home you’re going to save some money and then once you own the panels you’ll even be less without that $56 payment to Vivint. 
So if you want to see this home give me a call, shoot me a text or message, 801-318-3108. It’s an incredible home, a quiet area close to restaurants, shopping, retail, close to i-15. 
If you have a home and you want to know what the price of your home is or how solar panels affect your value or even if you don’t have solar panels, give me a call or contact me, I’d love to give you some information about the market; what it’s doing, what your home value is in this market, what it would sell for. Anyway, I look forward to talking to you, have a great weekend.
Best Regards,
Brian Olsen – Utah Realtor

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,
Wallsburg World Realtor
