A Meticulously Updated 7-Bedroom Home on Nearly Half an Acre

This expansive home in South Jordan’s Country Ridge neighborhood delivered exactly what our buyer was looking for: space, versatility, and modern upgrades in a prime location. The main level centers around a custom-designed chef’s kitchen with soft-close organizing drawers, a dedicated spice drawer, a warming drawer, and top-of-the-line appliances — all opening into living areas that are perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Hardwood floors, tile, and laminate complement the home’s timeless design, while modern efficiency upgrades including solar power, LED lighting, smart thermostats, and Google Fiber connectivity deliver comfort and low operating costs.

The separated ADU basement adds three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, creating incredible versatility for extended family, rental income, a home gym, or guest quarters. With seven bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a half bath totaling over 4,200 square feet, the home offers space that is exceptionally rare in South Jordan. Outside, the 0.45-acre lot is so expansive that Apple Maps highlights it as a green park. The yard features a sport court, ample gardening space, and plenty of room to create your own private outdoor retreat. A covered patio, mountain views, and a two-car attached garage with additional parking round out a property that checks every box.

Located in the heart of South Jordan, this home sits less than two miles from I-15 with convenient access to shopping, dining, recreation, and the Jordan River Parkway trail system. Students at this address are assigned to the Jordan School District, including South Jordan Elementary, South Jordan Middle School, and Bingham High School.

How Our Buyer Saved $45,000 on a FSBO Purchase

This transaction demonstrates why having professional buyer representation matters — especially when purchasing from a For Sale By Owner seller. The property was listed as a FSBO, meaning the seller chose not to use a listing agent. Our buyer came to the table with DiscountAgent.com as their buyer’s agent, and the result was approximately $45,000 in total savings broken down into two components:

Approximately $30,000 negotiated off the asking price. Buying from a FSBO seller without professional representation can be risky — pricing, contract terms, inspection negotiations, and closing coordination all fall on the buyer to navigate. With DiscountAgent.com representing our buyer, we conducted a thorough market analysis, identified negotiation leverage, and successfully negotiated approximately $30,000 below the asking price. The seller saved money by not paying a listing agent commission, and our buyer saved money through effective negotiation — a win-win for both sides.

Approximately $15,000 buyer commission rebate at closing. On top of the negotiated price reduction, our buyer received approximately $15,000 back through DiscountAgent.com’s 50% buyer commission rebate. This was credited at the closing table toward their closing costs on a conventional loan. Combined, that’s approximately $45,000 in total savings on a single transaction — the kind of result that is only possible when you pair smart negotiation with a commission rebate program.

As a licensed broker and Realtor with over 100 five-star reviews, I provide the same full-service representation that traditional agents charge the full commission for — showing homes, writing offers, negotiating inspections, and managing the entire transaction through closing. The only difference is that you keep half the commission as a rebate. Learn more on our buyer commission rebate page.

Quick Facts About This South Jordan Home

Why South Jordan Remains One of Utah’s Most Desirable Communities
