Built in 1995 and has metal roof. Second is a Corn Crib measuring 28x36 with electric and lots of internal storage built early 1900's. Third is a pole building shed with dirt floor in back part of yard measuring roughly 25x41. Fourth is an old Chicken Coop used for storage measuring 14x28 also with electric. Lastly is a metal Corn Bin Gazebo which makes a cool country hangout in the evenings in a wooded part of the property. This house has been in the family since the 1950's and has a lot of potential to make it your own country getaway in a very nice neighborhood with Great Neighbors! The House features 2 good size bedrooms measuring 15x12, and a smaller bedroom measuring 15x6'6". Large upstairs bathroom with tub/shower and closet measures 8x13. Living Room area 14x15, Dining Room 18x10'4". Kitchen 15x16, Downstairs bath 3'8"x6'2" with shower. Kitchen and upstairs bathroom remodeled 1996 with all new wiring and insulation. Newer High efficiency propane furnace (2010) and 50 gallon water heater (2014). New metal roof in 2008 with 80 year warranty. House also features Central Air (2010) and a water softener. The house comes with 1500 gallons of LP Tank Storage allowing you to fill once a year in summer when prices are lowest to get you through the winter. You will own the tanks which is also a nice savings from leasing or having to buy tanks. LP Tanks were also painted in 2001. North of Sterling area is a desirable place to live and raise a family. Current owner has been in the house since 1980 and the home has been in the family for 4 generations. Also included with the home will be a John Deere Riding mower with a 48" mower deck which does a fine job keeping the lawn looking good! Home to be available in very Early February for occupancy.
