Built in 1993, this house began as a sturdy, well built brick home. It was purchased in 2018 by the current owner when she became the superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park. She and her husband were taken by the fantastic, unspoiled view, and saw the potential in the home. They completely updated the home by taking out walls, placing large windows, creating a sunroom and totally transforming the kitchen, master bedroom and bath. Her appreciation of the natural surroundings of the home, bird and plant life, the dark night sky, are all apparent in her choices of the changes she and her husband made. Now that the owner has retired from the National Park Service, she and her husband are moving to the Northwest.
The sunroom is on the north side of the house with an unobstructed view of the cliffs. It is an ideal spot for birdwatching with the Torrey Canal nearby. The kitchen, with granite countertops throughout, has a huge island,plenty of cabinet space and a sizable pantry. The main floor, with the living room, dining area and kitchen are designed with an open concept. Perfectly placed windows for the view and light contribute to the comfort and livability of the home. The master bedroom with its adjoining spacious bath is at the east end of the house. The lower level has four bedrooms, a full bath and a family room for added space for family and guests. Extra features include gas cooktop and electric range with dual oven. Central air and a heat pump have been installed. An extra-large, attached garage is very useful. The wide patio on two sides of the house provides pleasant outdoor space. The home has city water. The access roads west of the Sand Creek Road are maintained by Torrey Town. All appliances and some furniture included. 397 Wendy Dr, Torrey. $949,000. TO-442
