POTENTIAL POTENTIAL POTENTIAL!!!!! Buy at a great price a home with an HVAC system and roof all less than 6 years old. Newer windows and water heater too! Now make the kitchen and bathrooms shine with paint and some cosmetic upgrades, update some flooring in the 5 bedrooms, and add some landscaping . . . you'll have the perfect dream home in a quiet neighborhood close to shopping, entertainment, and all that Decatur has to offer. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathroom upstairs as well as a kitchen, living room, and dining room on the main level, this home stands on its own, but add in that full daylight basement with separate entrance, and this is so much square footage to spread out in -- potential in-law suite? Income potential as a separate unit in the basement? The basement has concrete flooring but otherwise is finished and includes three massive rooms, a half bath, and laundry room with two separate entrances to the exterior. The home, while needing some cosmetic upgrades, is a structurally well maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home that has had the roof replaced in 2018, the HVAC in 2019, the water heater in 2020, floor joists/foundation repair in 2022 with transferrable warranty from AquaGuard, a new front porch in 2023, and has also an updated primary ensuite bathroom. Carpets were pulled back to reveal hardwoods underneath in all three upstairs bedrooms and the hallway (as well as in the living room and dining room on the main floor). The home is to be sold as-is.

You found it -- a 5-bedroom house in Decatur with newer HVAC and roof! With just a little bit of cosmetic renovation and work on the hardwood floors which were uncovered in the bedrooms, this home would shine! Tax records show 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs, a kitchen, living room, and dining room on the main level, and a lower level flex room with full daylight, a laundry room, and a half bath. The garage was also enclosed on this lower level to make two more huge light-filled rooms for a total of three spacious flex rooms, all with HVAC and full windows. With a separate entrance to this level, this could easily be converted to an in-law suite or maybe a short term rental unit. The home, while needing cosmetic upgrades has been structurally well maintained with the roof replaced in 2018, the HVAC in 2019, the water heater in 2020, floor joists/foundation repair in 2022 with transferrable warranty, a new front porch in 2023, and also an updated primary ensuite bathroom. With a large fenced backyard and a brick patio, a little elbow grease will go a long way in this home with endless possibilities (and space). The home is to be sold as-is.
