Don't miss this charming bungalow built in 1925. Nestled in the Great Lakes neighborhood of Decatur, this three bedroom, one and half bath house is just waiting for new owners to put their touches on it! Enter into a bright and sunny sunroom where you can enjoy the neighborhood view. From there, come into a cozy living room with a fireplace and lovely bookcases. Beautiful windows flank the fireplace and create a great space for entertaining. An adjacent office/guestroom/den is there for your choosing. The center of the home is a large dining room that can accommodate plenty of guests. The original butler's pantry gives additional storage, as well as additional counter space. The bright and sunny kitchen with white wood cabinets and butcher block countertops overlooks a breakfast room. From the kitchen, make your way out onto the bi-level deck. Two large bedrooms and a bath overlook the backyard, which has great potential. An original greenhouse sits out back with a shed behind it that was rebuilt 12 years ago. Don't miss the attic space that could be used as a flex space for a teen hang out, studio, or office. Make sure you find the tiny bathroom in the attic! Additional storage in the basement area and easy access to mechanicals. The house has great bones and is waiting for new owners to make it their own!
