SO much larger than it seems! This Lannon Stone Colonial home in McKenzie draws you in with charm and delight around every bend. As you move through the front door, you will be greeted by archways leading you into a separate dining room, a white kitchen with stainless steel appliances and subway tile, a cheerful breakfast nook and mudroom. With gleaming hardwood floors, the home opens up and brings the outside in as you approach the spacious living room, flanked by a wood burning fireplace and a wall of sliding glass doors overlooking the elevated back deck and private fenced in back yard. Step down to the large adjoining family room with additional patio doors, vaulted ceilings, a wall of floating shelves and views of the outdoors in every direction. Just off the family room and through French doors is a bonus office area, ideal for working from home and complete with more floor-to-ceiling windows. The second floor boasts 2 en suites! The primary bedroom has an updated bathroom and walk-in closet, and there is an additional, second ensuite bedroom with built-ins and a full bath. Bedrooms three and four share a large full bathroom and double vanity. The lower level has an inviting vibe with a stone fireplace, brand new carpet, ample ceiling height and plenty of space for play, curling up to a movie or setting up a home gym. Laundry is in the basement along with lots of additional storage space. Recent improvements include: renovation of the finished basement with brand new carpet and fresh paint (2021), new commercial grade heating/cooling unit (2020), updated powder room, new security alarm, new main furnace, new water heater, fenced in the back yard and professional landscaping (2016). Nestled on a quiet street in McKenzie with friendly neighborhood get togethers and only a few blocks from the parks, tennis courts, pond and sledding hill at Lovelace Park, 147 Sterling Lane is gracious, inviting and has plenty of space for everyone!
