August SunCrest Market Update
Say hello! Newsletter | Facebook | Instagram
More SunCrest Development?
Draper City recently received a $7.3 million dollar offer from Blue Bison Development on 110 acres of SunCrest area property. Located at approximately 2900 E 16000 S, or just east of the Mercer Hollow subdivision on the Utah County side, this area was declared surplus a few years back (the city’s way of saying “for sale”) and appears to have found a buyer.
The potential development would be accessed from a new road off of SunCrest Drive. It does lie within the Traverse Ridge Special Service District (TRSSD) which would be in charge of maintenance costs if the road is public, and the developer would be in charge of any easements and future connections or subdivision needs. This parcel neighbors ~365 acres known as Alpine Joint Ventures that will also likely be developed.
Our take:
Since Draper City’s $5.3 million dollar purchase of nearly 2,400 acres at the end of 2012, almost 200 of those acres appear to be heading towards residential development. This parcel, along with Hidden Canyon Estates and Edelweiss, may have you wondering, “How will new construction impact my home’s value?” New development in any community presents more choices for buyers and sellers. Depending on the size, style, and lot size, new homes can bring new competition to existing SunCrest homes when it comes time to sell, but they will also bring a lot more people up the hill who are interested in buying in SunCrest new construction isn’t for everyone. Working with a team to help position yourself to stand out in a bigger (and newer) crowd, however, will become even more important for any SunCrest homeowner looking to sell.
Our SunCrest Market Update is a hyper-local analysis of the most up-to-date information regarding the SunCrest real estate market. The previous month’s SunCrest housing information and future editions are released monthly.
SunCrest Annual BBQ
SunCrest Annual BBQ Recap
Oh, SunCrest. We’re just in love with you. We still get butterflies in our stomach driving up the hill to see you. Heck, we want to grow old with you.
So after getting to spend an entire afternoon with so many of you at the annual SunCrest BBQ — the people who make these houses into a real home for us — you can imagine that we’re still positively glowing.
We’re often asked, “What are the people like in the SunCrest community?” Our response: “Welcoming, friendly, outgoing, and diverse. The best kind of people, really.” Meeting new neighbors and seeing friends at events like this are a reminder why we live in the greatest neighborhood in the state.
We have to give a huge THANK YOU to the SunCrest OA for allowing us to sponsor the event again this year. And how about the food? Justin and his team were slinging BBQ sandwiches left and right. Based on the ticket count, nearly 500 meals were served in under 2 hours! Wow. Not only did Pittmaster handle the crowd efficiently, the food definitely hit the mark.
And Joe Friday Band? Our toes were tappin’ all night to the well played tunes of this fine trio. 
There’s wasn’t a dull moment thanks to Custom Events. The high striker, bounce house, super slide, rock wall, and jousting was a hit with the kids (and adults!) all night.
Congratulations to Gina James who won our Snowbird weekend getaway raffle. Thanks to everyone who entered by dropping your ticket stub, liking us on Facebook, and following us on Instagram. It was fun to see social media posts with our event Snapchat filter, too. We enjoyed chatting with as many residents as we could and look forward to the next community gathering.
15168 S. Longbranch Drive | T’s crossed & I’s dotted
$485,000 | 3,965 sq. ft. | 4 beds | 3.5 baths
T’s crossed and I’s dotted. We’re not sure there’s a better way to put it when describing this home because it really has everything covered. This two-story is buttoned up tidy, and sports that open floor plan you’re after.
Walking in, you’ll see those massive vaulted ceilings dotted with just the right amount of windows to let the light shine in.
From there, you’ll probably notice the open loft or office space, then you’ll see the living room and a formal dining room that could fit the whole block (we’ll look for the invite).
Perhaps the best part of the main floor is the kitchen and family. We love the idea of dinner at home while keeping an eye on the young ones, old ones, or four-legged ones.
The master suite upstairs is open and spacious and has everything you should expect to retreat to, not to mention some of the best views in the house.
Downstairs is WIDE open. Space to spread out, space for kids, or space for hobbies – those are just a few ideas, but what’s important here is that you decide what to do with the massive finished space.
Summer nights won’t disappoint from the monstrous Trex deck out back that overlooks both Salt Lake and Utah County. The flat, near quarter-acre fenced yard is really just the cherry on top of all those details offered in this home. You almost feel selfish that such a well-appointed home would also come with those stellar views on such a big lot. Almost.
We’re pretty sure you’ll get over it when you bring over all the neighbors for the house warming party. Inside and outside, this home serves up a delicious dose of sunrises and sunsets daily, and yet you’re not more than 10 minutes to the interstate. Our take? You ought to see in person.
2007 E. Aspen Grove Court | Cul-de-sac views
$325,000 | 2,192 sq. ft. | 3 beds | 2.5 baths
Stunning, panoramic 180 degree views dominate every window in this SunCrest 2-story.
Located on a secluded cul-de-sac location, living here means your daily routine includes waking up to the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island, downtown SLC, or being tucked into bed by the Lone Peak Wilderness range. You pick, it’s literally out your backdoor.
The outdoor space, complete with a Trex deck, spiral staircase, and pergola was created to maximize those sweeping views.
The flowing kitchen, dining and family make entertaining as easy (and as enjoyable) as pie.
The master bedroom provides our favorite viewpoint, and makes unwinding after work inviting and relaxing.
It’s not just the visible updates like new stainless appliances, windows, blinds, doors, custom workshop and outdoor space that make it move-in ready, but the stuff you don’t see has been updated, too: plumbing, water heater, furnace. Combine all the updates with those jaw-dropping views and you can be confident with this home buying decision. The only questions you’ll be asking is, “When can I see it?” and “When can I move in?”
15122 S. Eagle Chase Drive | Before & After
$325,000 | 3,336 sq. ft. | 3 beds | 2 baths
Goals. That’s really what we’re all about. We’re not just about the sign in the yard, the paperwork, and posting a few pics online. We’re about you. We’re about your goals and your timing. When we met with these sellers months ago, their goal was clear. Update the home and get it ready to sell.
Our approach: Create a unified feeling that you can use to make it your own. We managed the process of scheduling contractors, meeting deadlines, staying within budget, and honoring commitments while always letting the sellers be the decision maker. The result? They were able focus on things important in their life—family, friends, work, and hobbies and together we created a “schedule the moving truck and order the obligatory moving day pizza” move-in-ready home.
Just walk through the front door and you’ll see the updates still sparkling. What is it about the smell of fresh paint and carpet that gets your blood moving?
The main floor living design has nice, vaulted ceiling and offers plenty of open space. The kitchen, lined with granite countertops, flows right in to the family room.If open concept living is a must, throw out a fist bump ’cause this place is as wide open as they come.
The bathroom and bedrooms received touchups, fresh paint and carpet. We even bid adieu to the carpet in the master bathroom, but could bring it back if thats your thing?
The landscaping is equal parts clean and comfortable.The large backyard patio is great for relaxing with a tall glass of lemonade, demonstrating your bbq skills, or just good old fashion hanging out(side).
Schedule a tour to see it in person and then relax, the updates have all been done for you.
15087 S. Talons Reach Court | Views (& lots of ’em)
$335,000 | 2,475 sq. ft. | 4 beds | 3.5 baths
Anticipation. You know that feeling… that little tickle in your brain the night before a big vacation or the rush you get when your crush is calling. We have to admit, that’s the same feeling we got when we first rolled up to this terrific two-story.
We knew from the location that the views would be special, but just how special? We had to go inside. Guys and gals, can we put our anticipation to rest? It’s got views! Just look at the views from the back.
The large deck makes wildlife, weather, or just being nestled in nature a great way to spend your free time.
The kitchen has granite tops, real hardwood floors, and overlooks the home’s common areas. But also killer views.
The dining area? Enjoy steak, potatoes, and a mouthful of views.
The main floor family room is the sellers favorite view spot. Aside from the fireplace, mantle and rock surround,you can see clear to downtown Salt Lake. Not to worry, it doesn’t come with a Salt Lake City price tag.
Our favorite lookout? The master bedroom. That’s not a picture you’re seeing, that’s what waking up everyday in this home looks like.
This view-tacular home (see what we did there?) has 4 beds, 3.5 baths, and nearly 2500 square feet of awesome. Spacious rooms and a floor plan that just makes sense.
And unlike similar floorpans in the area, the additional footage in the basement and fully landscaped and fenced yard means even more room to spread out and enjoy – you guessed it – the views.
We anticipate this one going quick, call us to see it today.
15115 S. Briar Crest Court | Sunrise Views
$475,000 | 3,662 sq. ft. | 6 beds | 3 baths
“Exquisitely updated and delightfully decorated.” That’s how other people might describe this SunCrest home, but that’s a little hoity-toity, ya?
We think it’s just the pure cool factor. Besides having some of the best of SunCrest-postcard sunrise views of Lone Peak and Timp-it’s just so easy breezy and full of light.
How about that dramatic dual entry staircase? Showstopper.
Gorgeous, real hardwoods line the main living area and beautiful, thick granite countertops are found throughout.
The master suite opens to the deck and the sky high ceilings make kickin’ your heels up after work enticing.
And that custom, oh-so-gorgeous barn door dazzles the downstairs that really doesn’t feel like a downstairs. After all, it is drowning in daylight.
That Trex deck is a perfect place to sip a bevvie as you take in those sweeping eastern views.The daylight walkout basement with covered patio makes entertaining a breeze.
Campfire? Light it up! Your friends will all gather around the custom gas fire pit and stained concrete out back to high five you at your debut ‘cue. That’s what we mean by cool factor.

1956 E. Brookings Drive | Fluid Floor Plan
$350,000 | 3,632 sq. ft. | 4 beds | 2.5 baths
Is it just us, or do you also think an Adirondack chair fits perfectly on that front porch?
If you can make it past the urge to sit and sip a beverage, step inside to find a fluid floor plan that just, well, makes sense. The generous flex room on the front of the house is perfect for the telecommuter, bookworm, or your great great grandparents’ antique furniture-you know, that “too heavy to move” piano?
Nine-foot ceilings (yep…9) on the main are a terrific match for the wide open family room and kitchen. Oh, and that kitchen? Double ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, granite ‘tops, and a perfectly placed prep space that makes serving buffet style easy-peasy.
The upstairs has 4 large bedrooms, a master suite (and grand master bath) with peek-a-boo views of Utah Lake and a bonus loft that is a great space for [insert: family room, play area, or hobby room]. Neutral paint tones on the walls present a clean slate that are ready for your own splash of color.
Downstairs, the unfinished basement is awaiting your crafty customization. A wet bar, perhaps? Game room? More rooms for a growing family? You pick. That stamped concrete out back would look nice with Jack or Jill’s chalk drawing or that smoker you’ve been waiting to fire up. Dinner at 6?
