When I saw this peeking from around a tree, I just about leapt out of my car! A square box!
Look at how nice this boxy house looks with the soft natural trees and lilacs around it. I couldn't tell if it was a new remodel or if it had originally been a square box of a home. The siding looked brand new. The owners were putting in a new retaining wall and had a beautiful garden started.
Another angle. How lovely! Way to go "Squaresters!" (You can find this home in the 1200 block of Apple Ave., Provo.)
P.S. Found some old photos in government records. It used to be a BLUE box! Built in 1959. 1390 sq ft. Plus more in the basement. 5 bedrooms. 2.75 baths.
And the oldest photo:
(I think they did a GREAT job on the remodel. I love the new siding and neutral color. Updated, but still true to the original architecture!)
I LOVE this little A-frame house. It is located in the 800 N block of 1200 E in Provo, UT. Don't you just love how the large tree in the front frames the house from above? Everything is asymmetrical in a pleasing way. The A shape itself isn't even even. Nor are the windows that reside under it. But wait, it gets MORE interesting still!
Do you see those funny dots on the shingles of the sharpest side of the A-line roof? They are WINDOWS!! Tiny little roof-shingle-shaped windows. And at the back, a sort of square bay-window pokes out!
Come around to the front door and you will find a gorgeous stone chimney. And look again! Little tiny square windows by the front door and over another big window on the right.
Their garden is just starting to pop out some color for spring.
How beautiful! What do you think? Could you ever live in a home this unique?
P.S. I found some government records online that showed this house back in the day. It was apparently built in 1952, has 2385 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 2 baths! It used to have a shake roof and that beautiful tree in front was just starting out!
