442 Hawthorne Dr, River Heights, UT 84321

Nestled in a quiet, secluded neighborhood, this eco-friendly, EnergyStar certified home makes the dream of living the green life a reality. The detached, over-sized, two-car garage keeps toxic fumes out of the house, while light-grey shingles and state-of-the-art insulation keep the home cool in the summer months and warm in the winter. Inside, the main floor is home to all essential living space: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry room, living room, dining area, kitchen and pantry with 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, theater room and family room upstairs in the room trusses, and an additional 2,000 square feet of conditioned crawlspace -- the equivalent of 3 storage units -- beneath your feet. Sustainable cork floors are great for the planet, dent-resistant and softer, quieter and warmer than hardwood. Chemical-free, 100% bio-degradable wool carpet in the bedrooms improves air-quality by trapping dust and allergens, is naturally flame-resistant, and prevents overburdening the landfill. In the white-and-polished-chrome gallery kitchen, eco-friendly, scratch- and stain-resistant quartz crystal countertops invite you to cook up fresh, organic produce from the woodchip garden for every-day family meals. Listen to your favorite music overhead through the ambient sound system while you host friends and family in the spacious dining area designed to comfortably seat 12 guests with larger gatherings flowing out the dining room door onto the large covered patio equipped with ceiling fans, or move the gathering down the stone steps to the community green space. Make time to enjoy perennial, fresh asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, grapes, elderberries, currants, apples, cherries, peaches and pears from the yard. Then unwind from the day with a long, hot soak in a cast-iron or champagne-bubble bathtub. There is no more waiting for hot water with the energy-efficient, instant-water-heaters providing instant gratification. And rest easy knowing that the whole-house, carbon water-filter keeps toxins out of the water, while the water-softener makes cleanup efficient and sustainable.
