Description

Only 2 owners have had the pleasure to call this Marv Lofgren custom-built home theirs. Totally remodeled since last sale, this family home is so warm & comfortable. Walking into the large foyer, you feel the hardwood floors that can take you into the Formal Dining Room, which would make a great office. Straight ahead is the central Great Room, with vaulted ceiling, wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, and warm carpet. To its right is the eat-in Kitchen with hardwood floors, French Doors to the new Trex deck, black wrought iron fenced-in backyard & to the 24' above-ground pool. The Kitchen is full of wonderful light, stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops & tile backsplash. From there is the 1/2 bath & laundry room, full of cabinets & having access to the 3 car attached garage & backyard. To the left of the Great Room is the 3 bedrooms' wing. The Master Bedroom is over-sized, with walk-in closet & newly remodeled bath with walk-in shower. The 2nd bedroom has a beautiful Palladian window to the front of the home. The 3rd bedroom is also a great size. These last 2 bedrooms share another newly remodeled bathroom. The lower level has a finished Family room, great for the kids & their games. Plenty of dry, concrete storage area in the rest of the basement. The current owner of this home has allergies that have caused her to get the carpets cleaned regularly, HVAC system to be checked annually, and the wood-burning fireplace to never have been used in the last 10 years. New roof installed by BOSS Roofing in 2016 after the tornado thru East Sterling.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from January 03, 2024

    "Grew up in sterling. Although there are some bad apples here and there, it’s a beautiful little town with lots of potential and a great education system! "
  • Rocky Shaw
    "A good mix of small town but close enough to big city and access to interstate. City works to improve things, streets, bridges etc"
  • Klpham71
    "Hickory Hills 3 is a lovely neighborhood with young families, retired families and in between. Very safe neighborhood "
  • Jnoworrys
    "I live here and it is a wonderful community. Several safe,well maintained parks and good school system. Excellent hospital and clinics. We feel safe out at night on our daily walks. State of the art fitness center "
  • Goff059
    "The houses are right on top of each other. So if you have a noisy dog it’s very noticeable. And a lot of people leave their cats to roam free. Good sized back yards. "
  • Trulia User
    "You have to walk or drive everywhere, public transportation is minimal...most industries have left the area, there are a few good jobs but most people commute 2 hours away to Chicago for work and live here due to it being cheaper. The real estate prices are driven by this in most cases. It's a great place for the elderly as there isn't much to do here."
  • Laurynfassler
    "Schools are great! Streets are clean and overall a sweet town. I was born and raised here so other than not having that much to do it’s not a bad town "
  • Mandy A.
    "Sterling has some decent neighborhoods, but also some issues to be aware of. Local government enacts new legislation that may be impactful to homeowners, often"
  • Janell L.
    "we are in walking distance to Jefferson, Challand. Whiteside County Career Center and Sterling High school, close to the Hospital and the Duis Center, "
