Family room addition features a fireplace, skylights and a high efficiency mini split for it's own heating and cooling. Kitchen updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and slate backsplash. Upper level primary suite with a walk in closet and a spacious updated bathroom with jetted tub, vaulted ceiling and skylights. Plentiful closet space and storage. Walking distance to Millikin University and a block and a half away from the West End Bike Trailhead. The back roof and garage roof have been recently replaced. This is a must see!
West End Historic District, located between Millikin University and downtown Decatur, is a historic and residential Decatur neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The district reads as a catalog of Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revival details, and broad front porches set behind mature canopy trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Millikin University campus edge, where brick academic buildings and shaded sidewalks set a collegiate cadence. Kirkland Fine Arts Center anchors the cultural calendar with performances and exhibitions. Nearby, the Decatur Area Arts Council adds gallery energy and community programming. Pocket parks and walkable blocks keep daily routines grounded in the streetscape.
