Don't miss the rare opportunity to purchase an affordable, well maintained home in the country! Located between Sterling and Milledgeville, this home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, included a master bath that was remodeled in 2026, a large living room and spacious kitchen. This home also features a main floor laundry, convenient back porch with storage, metal roof and many vinyl replacement windows. You will also appreciate the large 2 car detached garage, 2 (MOL) acre lot, amazing views and blacktop road. This home has a Sterling address but is in the Milledgeville School District.
