About This Home
As of January 2026This beautifully maintained three-bedroom, two-bath antique Colonial in the heart of Sterling captures the warmth and character of the late 1700s while offering the comforts of modern living. From the moment you enter, you’ll be surrounded by timeless details—wide pine floors, authentic wood ceiling with bark beams in the kitchen, multiple fireplaces, and period wallpaper that echo the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The eat-in kitchen, complete with its own fireplace, is the heart of the home and perfect for cozy gatherings. The living room and family room provide inviting spaces to relax or entertain, while the four-season sunroom offers a perfect spot for curling up with a book. A finished bonus room in the basement adds flexible space for work or play, and laundry on the main floor brings added convenience. Full of history, character, and heart, this home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Sterling’s past—where every room tells a story and every detail speaks of timeless charm.
