Property nestled in an established neighborhood just minutes from fishing and recreation on the Tennessee River, and the River City bridge which makes it an easy commute to the Madison/Huntsville/ Limestone areas. This older home offers endless potential for the right buyer whether you're buying to live in or for an investment. With solid bones and plenty of character, this property is move-in livable while providing the perfect canvas for updates, renovations or a complete transformation. Enjoy the convenience of nearby access to major routes, local amenities and the charm of a mature community.
Old Town, located between Bank Street and the Tennessee River, is a historic and walkable Decatur neighborhood with brick-lined streets and riverfront views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bank Street corridor near Moulton Street, where galleries, coffee counters, and chef-driven dining create an after-hours hum. Community pillars include the Princess Theatre Center for the Performing Arts, the Carnegie Visual Arts Center, and the Cook Museum of Natural Science. Restored storefronts and early-20th-century facades set an architectural tone that feels curated rather than themed. Pocket parks and the riverwalk shape daily routines, with sunsets and festivals pulling activity toward the water. Downtown blocks keep errands, culture, and nightlife on foot.
