A Provo couple wasn't planning to buy a house when they moved back to town about 10 years ago, but the house had other ideas.
"We love to say that the wand chooses the wizard, and the house kind of chose us. It felt like it was meant to be," said Liz Maxfield.
However, when she started looking at the online classified ads, she forgot to deselect the "buy" option. The first property that popped up was a uniquely-shaped midcentury modern home. "Oh, that's kind of a cool mid-mod," she thought. "What a weird-shaped house." The clincher, though, was buried a few lines down in the property description: "acoustically engineered music room."The home was designed and built by the homeowner, Ephraim Hatch, then 92. It was where he and his wife, Verena raised their six children, and it came with a 20-foot tall A-frame music room with a pipe organ and 9-foot grand piano. He built the room and the organ and refurbished the piano for Verena, a musician.
