About This Home

As of July 2022

Breathtaking renovated and remodeled home in highly desired SUGAR HILL is BACK ON THE MARKET because buyer financing fell through (nothing to do with home). PRICED TO SELL - below neighborhood and market rate at $124 a square foot! INSTANT EQUITY AND NO DETAIL IS OVERLOOKED! This updated beauty boasts SIX BEDROOMS, 3 1/2 baths, FULLY FINISHED BASEMENT, and upgrades/updates galore! When entering the home, you're greeted with an elegant 2-story foyer flanked by office (with faux brick wall) and formal living room. Main level of home has no carpet with newer wood laminate flooring. They say the kitchen is the heart of the home and with this home, that's more than a figure of speech! This open design remodel is perfect for family gatherings and parties as guests can converse and mingle from all living and entertaining areas that flank the kitchen. The kitchen itself has all new stainless appliances, white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, Ruvati black granite undermount double sink, and commercial style faucet. Also on the main floor, check out the newly re-built (with new joists) and re-painted grilling deck, custom-designed 1/2 bath, and upgraded lighting in laundry area. Upstairs you'll find FIVE bedrooms! At the top of the stairs is a spacious owner's suite with updated, spa-like, master bath that hosts new Jacuzzi-brand whirlpool tub, glass enclosed shower, double granite vanities, and new rectangle-tile floors. Among the 4 additional upstairs bedrooms and second full bath, is a gigantic open bedroom (or loft!) with its own office or sitting room. ***NEW CARPET IN ALL UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS BY THE END OF JUNE!!!*** Basement also has newly carpeted stairs, 2 separate entrances, its own deck with steps to ground level, a large SECOND LIVING AREA with new waterproof wood-look textured LVP, two 10x10 newly carpeted rooms, a HUGE full bath with bath/shower combo AND A BEDROOM SUITE that also has new carpet, new 4” baseboards, a sitting area, step-in closet, multiple windows, and French doors! Also of special mention are the BRAND NEW HEATING AND COOLING UNITS with expanded ductwork and basement damper, newer hot water heater (3 years), newer roof (recovered in 2019) 2 nest thermostats and multiple room sensors, SimpliSafe door entry and alarm system, and two car garage with WiFi opener. Exterior home was inspected and identified maintenance recently completed with documentation. Great location, active swim/tennis neighborhood. Equally-distant to Downtown Sugar Hill and The Bowl, Suwanee Town Center, and the Buford Community Center. Also 5 miles from the Mall of GA, I-85 and I-985! There is no shortage of shopping, dining, festivals, and parks nearby, while maintaining easy access to Atlanta! This is the perfect home and location for entertaining!
