Set among mature trees and beautifully maintained homes in Sterling Place, this stunning painted-brick residence combines classic architecture with a spacious floor plan of over 4,000 sq ft. A circular driveway, established landscaping and a steeply pitched roofline create an elegant exterior, while the interior offers generous rooms and plenty of natural light throughout. The two-story foyer introduces the home, with a curved staircase and views toward the backyard. The living spaces provide ample room for everyday as well as entertaining, and the built-in shelving and hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout much of the home. The large kitchen includes extensive cabinetry and counter space, a center island with gas cooktop, and adjoins to the sunroom and formal dining area. Oversized windows throughout these spaces bring in natural light and views of the backyard. The primary suite features two walk-in closets, built-in storage, and access to the rear patio.

A walk-in attic also adds substantial storage space. Outside, the brick patio creates a lovely gathering area to enjoy the backyard and above-ground pool. There is an additional covered patio space, fence, and well-established landscaping that give the property a comfortable sense of privacy.
