About This Home

This 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath brick ranch home is in Sterling and is in a great location! A wide concrete driveway allows plenty of parking. The flowers are still blooming throughout the yard; you'll enjoy the row of rose bushes with other annuals. Nicely landscaped. Picture sitting in a rocking chair on the covered front porch and listening to the sounds of the country. Looking out the front bayed window, you'll see views of the cornfield across the road. The shining oak hardwood floors were new in approx 2019 and are beautiful. The brick gas fireplace in the living room will make the upcoming holidays cozy. Plenty of sunshine comes through the windows to brighten the open floor plan that has a dining area open to the living room and kitchen. A bright remodeled kitchen with pretty granite countertops, breakfast bar, nice white cupboards. All appliances stay, including the washer and dryer. The primary bedroom has a private half bathroom and a lighted closet. Remodeled main bathroom (2024) is updated with a shower/tub combo, newer vanity and light fixture, wall cabinet, and beautiful tile on the wall and a stone tile floor. A cute owl mural is in one of the bedrooms. Few new windows. The lower level is bright and finished with a laundry closet, access to the crawl space, built-in TV cove with storage, decorative wood wall, and storage area. French doors open to the back patios where you can enjoy the fenced back yard. Make apple pies this fall with the apples from the tree. The shed has a new exterior and is freshly painted. Large lot at approx .40 of an acre. Move on in!
