From your first step onto the wide wrap-around porch you will be utterly charmed and then you will be completely captivated as you step into the home to discover luxury, space and the perfect floor plan for today's work and school at home requirements. The master suite and two spacious bedrooms occupy the main level. An additional two bedrooms are on the upper level which could serve very well as office or schoolroom space. The upper level also features a large, open bonus room and another full bath, perfect for an additional family gathering area. There is truly space and privacy for everyone! So many special features set this home apart from all others in Decatur, from that fabulous porch, the rare two-car garage, the recently installed solar power system guaranteed to create significant savings on your energy costs, the 10++ foot ceilings, the stunning and oh, so spacious kitchen and the generous amount of storage to name but a few.
