Move right into this beautifully updated ranch in an excellent Sterling location! Inside you'll find a spacious living room that opens to a gorgeous, modern floor plan. The kitchen is a showstopper with stunning quartz countertops, all appliances included, a breakfast bar, and a large dining area that overlooks the back deck. The main floor also offers a convenient laundry room that doubles as a functional mudroom. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated - the main features a walk-in shower, while the master suite offers a shower/tub combo. You'll love the beautiful white oak engineered hardwood flooring and new thick baseboards throughout the main level. Additional highlights include a covered front patio, back deck, whole house generator, radon mitigation system, water softener, and RO system - all included. Downstairs, the basement impresses with a large family room, a spacious non-conforming 4th bedroom, ping pong table and a workshop area with new flooring and insulation. Updates continue throughout with top-of-the-line Marvin windows, new electrical, and new doors. Situated on a corner lot on approximately .40 acres. This home has it all - don't miss your chance to make it yours!
