Updated and ready for new owners, 1501 Sugar Creek is a custom raised ranch featuring open stairwells, a unique layout, and maximum flexibility to entertain or to enjoy private days and nights with your loved ones. Designed by renowned architect Don Tosi, the main level flows effortlessly along hardwood floors from living room to dining room to kitchen. Enjoy views of the beautiful yard, or let the sunlight in and enjoy the brick fireplace and the modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and brick backdrop for your eat-in table with additional storage. The master bedroom is down the hall with a generous bedroom and elegant, etched glass closet doors. The similarly spacious second bedroom opens onto a private patio, giving this room flexibility to be a home office, guestroom, and more. Both rooms share an updated full bathroom, complete with tiled, step-in shower. For a touch of the classic, head downstairs to the family room where blanched wood paneling and brand new carpet will make everyone feel at home. A second fireplace awaits, along with a full bar including brand new fridge and oven - perfect for your bigger parties! Full size windows illuminate this generous room by day and promise hours of entertainment when the day's work is done. A third bedroom rounds out the lower level, again with flexibility according to the new owner's needs. Outside this ark-shaped home is a wraparound porch that can provide either shade or sunlight throughout the day as you admire your .55 acre lot - or step inside your private patio with solid wood fence for some quiet time away from the buzz of the outside world. The backyard is fenced for kids and creatures alike, and the yard as a whole comes carefully landscaped, with plenty of potential for your creative touch. Many improvements: New carpet on the stairs and lower level, a new well was installed, a water filter system has been installed for the whole house, along with reverse osmosis for the kitchen, new paint in the second bedroom, and the shed and shelves in the garage will stay. Come see this one soon!
