Back on the market! Don't miss this second chance to make this house your home. Completely remodeled home in the Sterling School District! This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers plenty of space for family or guests. The open-concept main level showcases a brand-new kitchen with quarts countertops, updated 1/2 bathroom, hardwood flooring, and fireplace in the family room. Upstairs you will find a full bathroom and 2 big bedrooms and in the master suite a private tiled shower with glass doors! New mitigation system installed 9/2025. Step outside to enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard with an in-ground swimming pool - perfect for summer entertaining. Lots of space and mature trees. Some recent updates include a new furnace, A/C, water heater, plus roof and siding within the last 5 years, giving peace of mind for years to come. The basement has been finished as well with an extra non-conforming bedroom, laundry, and another large recreational room. New radon mitigation system installed 9/2025. Located in a desirable rural setting with lake access, this property offers both privacy and recreation.
