Living at 272 Sterling Road comes with the quiet confidence of knowing that foundational upgrades have been meticulously addressed, ensuring modern efficiency and peace of mind. The upper half of the home's rear exterior has been newly sided and, crucially, insulated from the outside, a strategic improvement enhancing thermal performance without compromising any precious interior living space. This work also incorporated a new door and window at the back, further sealing the home’s envelope. Essential systems have seen significant investment: a new, direct-vent water heater was installed last year, and the gas furnace was also updated with direct venting, meaning neither appliance relies on the chimney, a boon for both safety and efficiency. The pervasive comfort of central air conditioning ensures a pleasant indoor environment throughout the warmer months.
The commitment to lasting quality is further evidenced by the choice of Renewal by Andersen windows for the den's large awning window and two basement windows; these premium installations come with a comprehensive 25-year full warranty, of which approximately twenty years remain, covering future maintenance and replacement. In fact, all windows and doors throughout the residence have been replaced, utilizing products from both Canada Windows and Renewal by Andersen, for enhanced energy conservation and security. Adding to this worry-free living, protective leaf filter guards, complete with a lifetime warranty, have been installed on nearly all rain gutters. Furthermore, the attic received additional insulation in 2023, fortifying the home against the elements and contributing to its overall efficiency.
