Swedish Heritage Estate

Home History

This home in Logan, UT is very unique and priceless for the Pehrson Family.  This home has been in their family for 5 generations and passed down the Matriarch line in the last 2 generations.  Each generation has added their own touch to this beautiful home.  In the 1890's Nils and Johanna Pehrson brought over a tree sapling from their native country, Sweden and planted it, which is still there today prominently shown in the front.  There were no other homes around when the Pehrson family built this home 130 years ago in The Island of Logan, UT.  I am grateful to be entrusted to work on this family heirloom.

Renovation

The goal of this renovation was to keep the unique character of this home while adding modern convenience and luxuries.  This remodel was very challenging, and includes the work of generations that were brought together in Modern Luxuries and updated to current standards.  We are grateful for the trades that worked with us to update this family home.  This renovation included the addition of a Master Suite, Exercise Room, and detached 2 car garage.  Major renovations were done to the kitchen, laundry room, and family room.  A hall adjacent to the kitchen was removed to make the kitchen larger and more open.  The laundry room and hallway now sit where the master bedroom was before.  The old master bathroom and carport (that were added in the 1980's) were demolished.  The family room was expanded into the old 1 car garage area.  The main floor was braced with additional structural supports.  Central Air Conditioning was added.  And extensive floor leveling was done throughout the 130 year old portion of the home.   Insulation was also added to the exterior walls.  The old shake shingles and deteriorating asphalt shingles where ripped off and replaced with OSB and new architectural shingles.  All of the siding was also ripped off and replaced to have a cohesive look between the additions of the generations.
