Every major system has been addressed with quality and longevity in mind, giving you the confidence to simply move in and enjoy. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features a highly desirable first-floor primary bedroom, offering both comfort and convenience. Inside, you'll find a stunning remodeled kitchen and bathroom with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and gorgeous 3/4-inch true oak hardwood floors throughout. The extensive improvements include: brand-new roof, gutters, windows, exterior doors, all-new copper plumbing from the meter throughout the home, completely updated electrical system, new pressure-treated wood deck, and a new water heater. Even the basement has been professionally waterproofed, while the furnace and A/C have been inspected and certified. All permits were pulled with the city of Sterling. The big-ticket items are done. The details weren't overlooked. This is the kind of renovation that's built to last. This home offers peace of mind, quality craftsmanship, and is truly move-in-ready for you!
