What's special

ROOF AND WINDOWS ARE TWO YEARS. Four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2-car attached garage, and a family room with fireplace — the bones of this Sterling Heights colonial are exactly what buyers are searching for. The open floor plan feels spacious and bright, and the large partially finished basement gives you room to grow. The heavy lifting is already done — newer roof, siding, windows, and water heater protect your investment from day one. What remains is purely cosmetic: fresh paint, trim and molding updates, and some kitchen and basement finishing touches. The kind of work that builds equity fast. Out back you'll find a fully fenced yard with patio and shed, perfect for summer evenings. Extra parking and a great neighborhood street round out this solid package. Bring your paintbrush and your vision — this one rewards the buyer who isn't afraid of a little work.
