Hi Everyone,

3-bedroom home for sale at Wasatch Commons in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Here is the description: $445,000 Wasatch 
Commons<https://www.wasatchcommons.com/home> 
<https://www.wasatchcommons.com/home> is a community where residents are 
consciously committed to living and participating as a community. This 
park-like community has 26 households on close to 5 acres, with a shared common 
house as the social center. It includes a large dining room, kitchen, sitting 
room, playroom, guest rooms residents can use for friend/family visits, a craft 
area, and a laundry room. We also have a shared workshop and workout rooms, 
along with a garage and garden area. Many neighbors garden in either the 
community garden beds, wildflower gardens, or the mini-farm lovingly called the 
'Farmette' that grows produce for the community throughout the year, providing 
free produce to neighbors. The community has solar panels on the carports that 
service the common areas (all electricity in shared buildings is solar!). Every 
unit has one covered parking space, a storage unit in the carport, and other 
parking in the general lot. We have potlucks/meals twice a week (Sunday evening 
at 6:00 pm and Wednesday lunch at 12:30) and a Saturday café breakfast at 9 am. 
There is one or two all-community meeting a month, plus committees for 
management, celebrations, landscaping, kids' coordination, maintenance, and 
occasional community work parties to keep things tidy. A newly purchased unit 
must be lived in for two years before being eligible to be rented. This 
desirable unit is south-facing, with endless natural light that floods the 
home, and its passive-solar design keeps it cozy in the chilly months and 
cooler in the warmer months. The land is a gardener's delight, with a 
south-facing front porch perfect for growing plants like figs and pomegranates, 
and a back patio that stays secluded, shaded, and green year-round. Natural 
light floods through the windows all winter, adding to a great quality of life. 
This updated unit has a newer high-efficiency boiler for radiant heat (in-floor 
heat in every room) and hot water, a new kitchen island, and new carpet in the 
second upstairs bedroom. There are three bedrooms, a third-story loft space 
great for kids, meditation, or art space, and a family room with wonderful 
light that currently serves as an office space (but could just as easily be a 
kids' play room, reading nook, or other project space that would benefit from 
the beautiful windows and high ceiling of the space. The open floor plan, with 
a modern open staircase, spills out to the private backyard and yard. The yard 
has drip irrigation and is fully xeriscaped, with mature green out every 
window.
