Interesting Fact
This stone home is one of 300 historic structures in the area that have been preserved. It has an official historic marker next to the front door. The details are below.
According to the Spring City Historic District National Register, “This elegant stone house was built in 1883 for Isaac Behunin, one of the first settlers in Sanpete County. Mixing Gothic style inspired dormers with Greek cornice detailing, the house exemplifies the decorative eclecticism found in Mormon domestic architecture of the period. Behunin sold the house to Simon T. Beck in 1887 for $1,200. Mr. Beck was a wealthy sheepman.”

What We Love About This Home
This stone farmhouse in Utah was beautifully restored to its former glory, helping to preserve the character of its historic town. We love how the main house and log cabin have repeated elements that tie the two spaces together. The bold colors and playful prints add visual interest throughout the interiors, along with all of the antique pieces that were lovingly restored, bringing so much character and charm to this fabulous home. With the complete refresh, this home will be enjoyed by its inhabitants and visitors for years to come!
