Centerville, our pocket of quiet charm at the foot of the Wasatch, our home, our muse-was settled in the mid-1800s, and by 1885, this resplendently historic homestead was rising from the earth, stone by stone. Built by a master carpenter and cabinetmaker, the craftsmanship here isn't just seen, It's felt. This property carries the kind of soul you can't fake. A plaque on the front porch from the National Historic Register confirms what every passerby already suspects: this house matters.

The current owners "guardians" since 1982 revived this home with equal parts sweat and tenderness. She sanded floors and painted with a baby strapped to her back, he scavenged trim and doors from century-old Utah houses destined for demolition. Together, they brought history forward, board by board, beam by beam. The main house and barn with full mother-in-law apartment each hold vintage kitchens with restored stoves that still hum with purpose. Fresh paint throughout makes the old glow new again. The barn a two story beauty with 2806 square feet serves versatility in spades: a game room (formerly the garage) below, a mother in law with 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, a spacious studio/workshop above, and building plans for covered parking beside it for those who prefer form and function. Outdoors, it's nothing short of enchantment. A man made stream and waterfall flow beneath boughs of marked heritage of trees almond, tulip, walnut, grapevines, while the 65 foot deep wishing well nods quietly to its pioneer roots.
