Great house but lots of construction nearby
This is great house. Everything you need is there. It’s very comfortable in every way. The view is outstanding. Marc, the owner, is a good communicator and responsive. There is one big issue that is important to consider. This house is part of a development called Sugar Ridge. The development is in its early stages, which means there is a lot of construction going on. There are two houses being built directly in front of the house and the lot next door was just cleared and is probably getting ready to be developed. We were there in the week leading up to Christmas so most of the construction stopped but there was some banging coming from one of the houses. To compound this problem, the house sits on a hill overlooking Jolly Harbor and there is serious construction going on there. While it seems far away, the noise (drilling, jack hammering, movement of cranes and heavy equipment) travels up the hill. This was a constant for most of the week. I know it’s impossible for the owner to know what construction is happening and when and it’s out of his control but it needs to be disclosed because the noise can be very loud and make enjoying this house almost impossible. For this reason alone, I can not recommend staying there. Because the development is in the early stages, the noise will be an issue for many years. If you are not someone who is bothered by this, it is otherwise a terrific house.
