512 18th Ave., Sterling, IL 61081

There's so much to like and so much potential in this Sterling cottage. Hardwood floors and a shingled exterior speak of old world charm, but solar panels and an on-demand water hearter bring modern efficiency. The first floor offers large rooms and hardwood floors, while the second floor brings a large private space and second bath that could easliy be used for a bedroom, home office, or rec room. (What child wouldn't love having a whole floor to themsef?) Outside there are 2 lots; plenty of room for pets, kids. or that pool you've been thinking of. The solar panels keep electric bills under $20 in the summer and bring regular checks for power sold to Com Ed. Siding looks like Wood Shake shingles, but is actually fiberglass.... Dying tree in front yard to be removed before closing
