Surprise Package

By Cindy Hodnett

Appearances can be deceiving. At first glance, 134 Sterling Drive seems to be a traditional take on the standard Triad townhome. With an exterior of brick accented by aesthetically-pleasing columns, the three-bedroom residence exudes curb appeal and understated elegance. However, the tasteful outside finish of this home is just a small part of the total package, and visitors are often surprised to find what lies beyond the front door.

"I think the most unique feature of this professionally-decorated home is the overall quality – finishes like the imported antique leaded stained-glass windows on the front door and master bedroom door and windows; the custom maple entertainment center in the living room with a slide-out TV drawer; gas logs and display cubes, and the huge master bedroom suite," said Prudential Carolinas Realty's Heidi Eller. "Sterling Place is close and convenient to the interstates, but also offers quiet country living and a very friendly, close set of neighbors."

Many people view interior design services as the exclusive domain of the wealthy, but homeowners "in the know" realize that a design professional can make the most of their square footage and do it with beautiful style. 134 Sterling Drive is a striking example of how an accomplished designer can personalize any type of home with remarkable results.

The main level of 134 Sterling Drive has nine-foot ceilings, crown molding and honey oak hardwood floors in the entry, dining room, kitchen, living room, coat closet and hallway. Tile floor adds interest in the powder room, and Berber carpet provides warmth and sound absorption in the master bedroom.

The master suite also features an antique leaded glass door, a walk-in closet and a sitting area with built-in bookshelves. In the master bath, stained glass windows are a stunning focal point and the tiled, seated shower allows homeowners to relax a bit during the morning routine.

Granite countertops, maple cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances lend an upscale air to the kitchen, and the breakfast bar is a light-filled place to enjoy the day's first cup of coffee. Recessed lighting adds a soft glow to the surroundings, and open shelves allow homeowners to display cherished collections.

Mocksville has become very popular with homebuyers in recent years, and the future owners of 134 Sterling Place will enjoy the lifestyle offered by a small town with modern amenities.

"Davie County and Mocksville have a great deal of community pride," she said. "This is a developing suburban population known as the Heartland of North Carolina, and local amenities include the YMCA, the Brock Center for the Performing Arts, Rich Park, Davie County library and a variety of hometown holiday festivities. It's a great place to raise kids or retire."

134 Sterling Drive lists for $189,900 and has more than 2,000 square feet, three bedrooms and two full and one half baths. For more information, call Heidi Eller at Prudential Carolinas Realty, 336-760-0231.
