SunCrest Open Space Discussion & Edelweiss HOA Annexation
SunCrest Open Space Discussion
Edelweiss HOA Annexation
1846 E. Clover Leaf Lane | Jump Right In
$389,000 | 2,932 sq. ft. | 4 beds | 3.5 baths
We’ll spare the tired “Welcome Home Blah Blah” real estate jargon, and jump straight to the meat and potatoes: Five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, fully finished, and fully fenced.
But what really makes this house special is that it won’t leave you hungry for more. For starters, the gigantic entry is the perfect spot for welcoming friends, family, or new neighbors into your home. It’s lined with windows for light, yet dressed nicely with those “Oooh, I’ve always wanted shutters” windows coverings.
The kitchen (new granite tops, btw) and family room flow seamlessly and pair pefectly together (think: peanut butter and jelly, wine and cheese… you get it.)
Three bedrooms, including the master, are upstairs with a universal room for whatever you want to put on your plate. We like an office or kids play area, but hey, po-TAY-to / po-TAH-to, it’s up to your home design appetite.
When you’re ready to let kids, pets, or unruly partners burn some calories, send them out to the flat, fully fenced yard or across the quiet street to the neighborhood park.
Yeah, this home really is all that and a bag of chips.

Outdoor House Projects: The Best Bang For Your Buck
With summer officially here, many of us are excited to get out to spend more time in our yards, polish up our green thumbs, and let our lives freely spill out the back door. Sprucing up your outdoor entertaining space not only helps make it enjoyable for daily use, it can help increase your home’s value. Below are a few of the most effective ways to gussy up your outdoor space while adding to your home’s value.
Add Some Color
Liven up walkways, flower gardens, patios, porches, and decks with color. From planters to perennials, shrubs to spruces; adding color and interest can not only make your yard more inviting, but help create a welcoming and enjoyable space to kick up your feet.
Stain Your Deck or Porch
A deck or porch is a big part of your home’s outdoor appeal. We often hear, “If I’m going to live in SunCrest, I want to enjoy the view!” What better way than sitting on the deck or porch? Wood decks need regular care to keep them looking their best and to help protect the wood, or you might consider using a manufactured product like Trex for for less maintenance.
Put In a Patio
Take a deep breath. It’s probably not as daunting as it sounds. Bricks, pavers, and stone patios are long lasting, require little maintenance, and do not necessarily require any special cutting or fitting. Adding a patio can create an extension of the indoor space and provide a place for BBQ’s, book reading, or breathing our cool mountain air.
Touch Up Stucco, Siding, and The Roof
If shingles are missing or curling, stucco severely cracked, or siding and trim weathered from the winter, these are not only visual eyesores, they could also lead to further damage. Preventive maintenance is key!
Our Take:
While big projects like remodeling bathrooms or a complete kitchen overhaul are popular ways to increase a home’s value, something as simple as updating landscaping and curb appeal can have a quick impact on a home’s value without breaking the bank. If you’re wondering can be the best way to add your home’s outdoor appeal, contact us today!

2022 E. Oak Summit Drive | Intentionally Designed
$599,900 | 4,158 sq. ft. | 7 beds | 3.5 baths
Intentional. Being intentional. That’s what was on the homeowners’ mind when they built this home.
From the precise placement of the home on the lot, to a layout that would provide maximum usage of space while still creating easy breezy living; this home was crafted with intentional detail.
The lot, for example, is intentionally placed to take in the picture perfect views that SunCrest is known for. Enjoy a cup of joe as you watch sunrises over Mt. Timpanogas or roast a ‘mallow as you enjoy the evening shade on nearly a third of an acre – fully landscaped.
That intentional outdoor space is probably our favorite. Start that grill or save us a spot on the covered deck; relaxing with neighbors never gets old.
Inside, the intent was for main floor living and less up-and-down time. The outcome? More time spent in the large great room that has windows spanning all around.
The master retreat was created with the intent to feature views of both Lone Peak and Mt. Timpanogas.
Downstairs was intentionally designed for multiple uses: tweens, teens, babies, or booomers-no matter the age, the family room, full kitchen and four bedrooms can be enjoyed by anyone or whatever purpose you intend.

1451 E. Meadow Bluff Lane | Right on time
$699,000 | 5,056 sq. ft. | 4 beds | 3.5 baths
“If only I could find the time…” How often do we say that? Lean in close, because we have a secret: we found it. After years of searching, it turns out more time was hiding in this stunning Deer Ridge custom home.
A massive covered deck means more time to take in the sunset or host a BBQ. Time for you with the main level living.
Gorgeous hardwood floors and spacious windows everywhere flood the space with natural light for a bright, timeless feeling.
The gourmet kitchen makes everything a breeze and gives you time to try that recipe, using the stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and convection oven.
Three fireplaces give you options and time to read a book on a cool evening.
Time outside, you say? Forget yardwork. Mature trees, natural gambel oak, and perennials around the landscape will free up your weekend time for summer fun. We’re thinking time to sit by the fire pit and create new memories!
Not only does this home feature some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Lone Peak, the Oquirrhs or the city lights of Salt Lake, but it also gives you the kind of time you’d like to really soak them up.
Our advice: take time to see this home before it’s gone.
May SunCrest Market Update
Follow along: Newsletter | Facebook | Instagram
Appraisals, appraisals, appraisals
It’s no secret that SunCrest home values have increased dramatically over the past two years. Gone are the days of homeowners drowning with an “underwater” mortgage (yay!) and many SunCrest homeowners who purchased at the bottom of the market are sitting on substantial amounts of equity. However, in a hot SunCrest real estate market, buyers and sellers are being faced with a challenge: The Appraisal.
Unless it’s an all cash purchase, each home must be sold twice. First to a prospective buyer who makes an offer, and second to the appraiser who must agree that it’s worth what a buyer is offering. When a market sees rapidly rising prices, appraisal values may lag behind and that second sale can be more difficult than the first.
In a sizzlin’ SunCrest real estate market, SunCrest homes are receiving multiple offers and offers above list price. The appraiser is then tasked with supporting the buyers and sellers opinions of value. The problem? In many cases, the appraiser’s opinion of value is different than the contract price. According to a recent report by Quicken Loans, the gap between homeowners opinion of value and that of an appraiser continues to widen. This growing gap is causing some hiccups to an already emotional process.
Our take:
The appraisal came in low. Now what? Our advice: be prepared. At the time an offer is submitted and reviewed, discuss the options of the “what if the appraisal comes in low?” Are the REALTOR and seller prepared to dispute the value if they feel it is wrong? Does a buyer have the ability to pay above the appraised value and/or work with their lender to restructure a loan? Having a professional on your team who is able to support, educate, and most importantly communicate the contract value may not only help a buyer or seller achieve their SunCrest real estate goals but save potentially thousands (even tens of thousands) in the event of a challenging appraisal value.

15093 S. Winged Bluff Lane | SunCrest life at its peak
$415,000 | 3,122 sq. ft. | 6 beds | 3 baths
By now you know ’bout our affinity for SunCrest, so we’ll forgo the fawning over miles of nearby outdoor recreation and clean air, and jump right to the point: If SunCrest is life at the top, then this spot is at the tippy-top of the neighborhood.
Posted at the pinnacle of Winged Bluff Lane, living here means you’ve got an all star line up of views that include Lone Peak and Mt. Timpanogos by day, and the lambent (thanks daily word!) lights of Salt Lake and Utah County at night.
The oversized Trex deck handles the hot tub with ease and even leaves enough room to follow your fave yoga-at-home vids while taking in the crisp mountain air.
The manicured, fully landscaped yard has a view-friendly fence that is ideal for keeping kids, pets and the scenery all within the same line of sight.
Inside, the layout is simple and inviting. Windows are placed right where you’d expect them, and the home’s open spaces are spot on for family gatherings, dinner with friends, or enjoying the peaceful mountain setting on your own time.
Three bedrooms and two large family rooms on each level allow for customization to your lifestyle. If that isn’t enough, we challenge you to find a master suite with better vistas than this.
SunCrest life at its peak.
15061 S. Winged Bluff Lane | Unbeatable Views
$410,000 | 3,122 sq. ft. | 6 beds | 3.5 baths
It’s not too often that view homes like these come up for sale, so it might be wise to heed our advice: act quickly.
Perched high up on Winged Bluff Lane in SunCrest, this main floor living home is about easy living and soaking up the very views that make SunCrest famous.
If you consider yourself the host(ess) with most(ess), you’re in for a real treat here. Whether it’s Sunday brunch, a casual cocktail party, or getting together with the gang from the good ol’ days, the kitchen and family room open up to the large Trex deck and will pair good company with unbeatable mountain and valley views.
The main floor master is positioned in the back of this place so that everyday sunrises bring new meaning to the old saying “just another day in paradise.”
Two other beds and a universal den or office complete the main floor layout. The downstairs, should you ever dare leave the main floor views, has to be one of the biggest family rooms on the street and is certain to be great space for nights spent at home.
Two other bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a space currently being used a salon (but yours to customize) round out this SunCrest home. If you don’t move fast, the next view will be the “Sold” sign out front.
1792 E. Auburn Ridge Lane | Be Our Guest
$389,900 | 2,801 sq. ft. | 5 beds | 3.5 baths
Plucked straight from the “what’s what” in home fashion trends, this home at 1792 E. Auburn Ridge Lane serves up a delicious dose of oohs and ahhs.
The owners went all out on the jaw dropping remodel. Starting with the kitchen, they added beautiful quartz counters, eye catching subway tile, sleek white cabinets, stainless appliances, and a decorative barn door to boot.
The updates continued in the entry where they opted for a more open feel by removing the former wall – hard to disagree with open concept living, in our book.
Be our guest in the wide open downstairs. This family room will kick your cinema habit in favor of cozying up to watch your favorite flick on the theater style seating.
In the back, transition from indoor to out, with French doors that open up to one of the biggest yards on the block. It’s flat, fully fenced, decorated with mature landscaping, and has a patio perfect for entertaining. Cheers to this one folks; you’re home.
