About This Home

This amazingly lovely brick cape cod in the center of Sterling is ready to be your home. They don't build them with this kind of attention to detail anymore. So much has been done in the last two years to make this home move in ready for you. The exterior has so many upgrades, including a new concrete patio, scraped and painted trim, 2 car two story garage has a loft for storage, and an epoxy floor added to the main level "Man cave dream!" One car garage used for storage and gardening tools. Walk through the front door to a nice foyer with the carpeted living room to the right and the lovely dining room with hard wood flooring and built-ins to the left. The kitchen has stainless appliances and nice counter space, with wonderful light from the nice sized windows. The upstairs hall has hardwood and built-ins also. The master is a large beautiful space with lots of natural light and cozy spaces also. Two more bedrooms with nice storage space and a bathroom complete the upstairs space. The nice sized basement has tons of storage and laundry. This home is located by Hospital, schools and Kilgour Park for your convenience.
