Sitting on over 1/3 acre, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath home is perfect for an investor looking for great cash flow, or great for someone looking to be close to everything that downtown Decatur has to offer. The backyard is very private and backs up to a dense tree line. There are hardwood floors throughout most of the house, along with a nice covered patio off of the Kitchen. HVAC and roof have both been recently replaced.
