SELLER IS OFFERING A 2-1 MORTGAGE RATE BUYDOWN WITH AN ACCEPTABLE OFFER! This could mean significantly lower monthly payments for the buyer during the first two years of homeownership. Using a 7.5% interest rate and 5% down as an example, a qualified buyer could save approximately $231/month during Year 1 and $118/month during Year 2! Ask your agent for details on this great opportunity. Buyer must qualify with an approved lender. Actual savings depend on loan amount, interest rate and loan program. Welcome to this beautifully maintained and extensively updated 3-bedroom home with the potential for a 4th bedroom in the finished basement! The inviting sunken den features a cozy fireplace, while the finished basement offers even more living space with a rec room and built-in bar—perfect for entertaining. Both full bathrooms have been renovated, laundry has been conveniently relocated to the main floor, and the home received fresh paint and new carpet in 2025. Behind the scenes, you'll appreciate substantial improvements including a new electrical panel, updated wiring, outlets and switches, new water and drain lines, and a tankless gas water heater. The mostly fenced backyard offers plenty of privacy and features updated landscaping, exterior lighting and a new 10x20 lofted shed. Additional improvements include a new roof, new gutters on the home and garage, replacement windows, and a new garage door and opener. A 2-car detached garage, 60-amp generator connection and an extensive Ring security system add even more functionality. This home combines the character and space of an established home with an impressive list of recent updates!
Northland Heights, located between I-72 and Lake Decatur, is a residential and suburban Decatur neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Water Street corridor near the lakefront, where marinas, park paths, and low-key local hangouts set a weekend rhythm. Housing reads as mid-century ranches and split-levels with tidy setbacks and attached garages. Lake views and breezes shape the pace, with walking and cycling routes threading into shoreline parks. Daily routines orbit around lakefront recreation and nearby civic destinations rather than a dense retail strip.
