We are selling our Private East Bench Cottage with Character, Space & Endless Possibilities.
Tucked away on Bountiful’s sought-after east bench, this charming cottage-style home offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and an exceptional 5/8-acre lot. Set back from the road behind the garage, the home feels like a peaceful private retreat while still being close to everything Bountiful has to offer.
The approximately 950-square-foot home is warm and inviting, featuring 2 bedrooms, a small office, 1 full bathroom, and a cozy gas fireplace. Thoughtfully designed and very well insulated, the home offers comfortable living with a gas furnace and central air.
One of the property’s most unique features is the approximately 400-square-foot finished space beneath the garage. Currently enjoyed as a movie theater and guest retreat, this versatile area includes a kitchenette and bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower. Guests will love having their own private space, making it ideal for entertaining, movie nights, hobbies, or extended stays. A large cellar beneath the home provides abundant additional storage.
The garage is truly a hobbyist’s or mechanic’s dream. One side provides convenient vehicle parking, while the other offers generous room for a workshop, projects, hobbies, or additional storage. Including a gas furnace and window mount air conditioner. The property also includes two sheds and a carport toward the back of the lot, providing even more flexibility for storage and outdoor equipment.
Step outside and you'll discover an immaculate, lovingly maintained yard that feels like your own private oasis. A beautiful waterfall and inviting firepit create the perfect setting for relaxing evenings, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the property. With 5/8 of an acre, there is room to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining the intimate charm of this special home.
This is a home that has been genuinely loved and thoughtfully cared for. The owners are preparing to begin a new chapter as retirement brings them closer to their daughter and grandchildren. While they are excited for what comes next, leaving this special property is bittersweet.
If you're looking for something more than just a house—privacy, character, outdoor space, a unique guest/entertainment area, and room for your hobbies—this East Bench cottage deserves a closer look. We do have a agent we will be going with. So please no agents calling unless you have a interested buyer.
