he adjectives “Luxurious” and “Well designed” only begin to define this recently upgraded 1 story home, located in the newer home community of Sungate Ranch.
Upon entering the vaulted foyer with clerestory window and deco shelf, one discovers the reason that this particular floor plan was the first to sell out when the development was first constructed. The volume spaces of the open floor-plan are quite striking. The rooms flow naturally from one room to the next, and are always augmented by an interesting architectural touch here or there that tells you this home is not like others. While there is an “open air” feel to the home, smart touches such as sliding pocket doors and well-placed double doors assure privacy for the living or family room areas when desired.
The living and dining rooms share a number of features, including a huge bay window and double sided fireplace with complimenting recessed shelving and laminate wood floors. Through a set of double doors, one discovers the heart of the house... a huge family room that is complimented by newer paint, custom built ins, a vaulted ceiling, and gas fireplace.
Adjacent to the huge family room, the gourmet’s kitchen awaits the chef in you. With plenty of prep area, a corner sink, and an optional grille for the Jenn-Aire cook-top, this is truly a gathering place. An eat-in breakfast nook and breakfast bar is also featured here, as well as the same durable laminate wood flooring that imparts such wonderful warmth to the area.
The master bedroom is a gorgeous respite from the day. The double door foyer with custom tiling remind you that you have arrived to your sanctuary. Explore this generously sized room, complete with newer carpeting, paint, a vaulted ceiling and sliders to the patio. The crowning feature is a double-sided fireplace that is shared with the master bath with its twin vanities, large shower, walk-in closet and private water closet. Of course, what suite would be complete without a lavish soaking tub adjacent to that warm fireplace? You will find that here as well.
Two additional bedrooms and a bath feature newer paint and carpeting, and come equipped with blinds as well. Just down the hall, you will find more and still more storage closets... This house has room for ALL of your things! A laundry with cabinetry for more storage leads to the two car garage with opener and a pull down stair to the attic storage.
Out back, a wonderfully spacious lot has a few surprises for you. The area includes an entertainer’s patio with brick apron trim, a 220 line and concrete pad for a future hot tub, and a dog run. The area is wonderfully landscaped with lawn and fruit trees, but the real surprise is just around the corner, where you will discover a huge side yard and storage barn! A bonus space made possible by this home’s unique positioning within the neighborhood, the property has a very large side yard that can be used in so many ways... your imagination is the limit!
From the dramatic volume ceilings and laminate wood floor surfaces to the beautifully landscaped rear yard with patio and bonus side yard, this home has it all. One visit and you will see... sophistication and elegance abound in this stylish home in sought-after Sungate Ranch!
