They say the cream rises to the top. It's as true at the dairy as it is in the Deer Ridge subdivision; and this custom rambler sits on top of our list of the creamiest and dreamiest destinations you could call home. As if its location on one of the community's most coveted (and quiet) streets wasn't enough, it's placed perfectly on a half-acre lot with 180-degree views of overlooking city lights, towering mountains, the Great Salt Lake, and thousands of native Gambel Oak trees. From the street, the curb appeal is welcoming but not overdone. Take note of the custom brick paver driveway, soothing stream water feature, and captivating entry. A few steps inside and you're flooded with natural light. Hours of meticulous planning went into the exact placement of every window to maximize views, and it shows. Those incredible vistas you're seeking are placed exactly where you want them, at eye level, at each turn. The home's main level sprawls over 3000 square feet and it's equal parts comfortable, convenient, and classy. This level features handscraped hardwood floors, a study with built-in bookshelves, and a great room with its wood trimmed tray ceiling and stone fireplace. The kitchen is large, open, and features upgraded appliances, granite countertops, and yes, the views even continue here in the heart of the home. The sweetest features are found in the owner's suite, which holds large banks of windows to ensure the views are always by your (bed)side, an ensuite bathroom, generously-sized closet, coveted dressing area. The lower level was crafted for life's "anytime" moments - game time, family time, movie time, gym time, or leave me alone time - it can be used however you like. You have 5 bedrooms, a full kitchen, and more windows at every turn. Out back finds the home's all season deck, covered walkout patio, and expertly built greenhouse that pairs perfectly with the professional landscaping. This home exemplifies what SunCrest living is all about: gorgeous homes, unbeatable views, clean air, and an active lifestyle. It's truly the cream of the crop.

There's a lot to be said for predictability these days. Too much uncertainty takes its toll, and right about now we're loving anything that we can depend on. That's what struck us with this home-the certainty of it. Built just one year ago, it sits firmly on a remarkable lot, still shiny and new. Can we shoot straight? Any comparable "to-be-built" home is going to come with a hefty price tag and given home construction right now, would likely not be complete until next year. There's no need to wait; this one is fully finished and ready to go. The sellers smartly peppered the back of the house with windows to keep the SunCrest scenery accessible at a glance. Soak in those views. Two decks and a walkout basement also ensure plenty of vistas and fresh air are always at your fingertips. Chic Mannington laminate floors line every square foot of the home's main level, and the kitchen sports the most fashionable white cabinets you can find, along with quartz countertops, double ovens, and stainless appliances. The second story holds 2 guest bedrooms, a guest bathroom, and a loft. But the real show stopper is that owner's retreat. The bathroom dazzles with its oversized shower, dual vanities, timeless tile and a closet bigger than most bedrooms. Check the deck though; it's the highest vantage point in the house and we recommend spending a few moments to take it all in. Don't worry, that mound of dirt will be gone soon enough.  Downstairs is designed with another 2 bedrooms and a wide open family room, ready for game nights, family nights, or just a place you can depend on to relax, unwind and feel secure.
