About This Home
As of May 2025Very likely the best location in Sugar Valley, this terrific home comes with upgrades galore. Township owned land borders the entire rear yard, giving ultimate privacy and maximum use. To take full advantage of this premium location, over 500 sq ft of glass enclosed living area was added to the family room, offering terrific views. The back yard is an oasis featuring an in-ground pool, two tier patio, picnic area, exterior lighting, paver stones and fencing. Enjoy the privacy this property offers as you view the setting sun and watch local wild life and birds. The 27 x 13 kitchen, featuring Aristokraft wood cabinetry and an island, is a chef’s delight. Special features include tile backslash, recessed lighting, double bowl sink, pantry and bay window. Andersen windows are found throughout the house, including an Andersen slider. The 27 x 20 family room hosts a game room area surrounded by floor to ceiling glass windows. In addition, this area has a floor to ceiling fireplace with a pellet stove insert. The first floor is completed with a large living room, with a bay window, and new wall to wall carpeting, updated powder room and main floor laundry. The 2nd floor living area has 4 spacious bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and an en suite, that has been completely redone to include a soaking tub, walk-in shower, with seamless door, and double bowl vanity. The hall bath has an updated vanity and recessed lighting. Three nicely sized bedrooms, with six panel doors, complete the second floor. Need more space? The finished basement has been recently updated with new paint, carpet, plenty of recessed lighting and electric baseboard heat. In 2023, the front exterior was remodeled with stone veneer for a distinct look. Recently landscaped front yard and stamped concrete walkway add to the welcoming appeal. This HOME IS A MUST SEE!
