Fabulous flipper opportunity! This spacious ranch in an up-and-coming area of Decatur is just waiting for your vision. It has great bones, with hardwood flooring, brick and frame exterior and a highly functional floorplan. The kitchen offers granite countertops, plenty of cabinetry, a convenient island and a breakfast area. The kitchen looks out to a formal living space, which blends seamlessly into a large family room. The formal dining room lies between the kitchen and family room, and is the perfect size for family meals or larger gatherings. Off the dining room is a bonus room that would serve well as an office or kid's play room. The master suite is roomy and comfortable, with an included ensuite bath. Two additional guest rooms and a full bath round out the interior of this great ranch. Make your way outside for even more possibilities. The covered front porch is ideal for morning coffee and the back deck for barbecues. The large, corner lot is fenced in back and offers plenty of space for play, a garden or the landscaped oasis of your dreams. This terrific house would make both an excellent investment as an income property, or as a family home. It just needs a little TLC and updating and is a steal at this price! Don't miss the opportunity to see this one today! ****CALLING FOR HIGHEST AND BEST BY 4PM ON 8/13******
