Built by Charlie Ashauer who designed the Staley Building. Space and character come together in this brick two story home located in Decatur's West End. Built in 1928, this property offers an impressive 2,695 square feet of living space above grade, with room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. You’ll appreciate the large living and dining areas—perfect for gatherings or entertaining. The home features 4 generous bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a cozy fireplace that anchors the main living space. Built to last, this home includes a durable tile roof, replacement windows, and a new boiler system for reliable comfort. The unfinished basement provides plenty of storage or potential for future use. A detached two-car garage adds extra convenience, and the home’s location on a quiet, established street offers both space and charm. With its solid construction and abundant square footage, this is a great opportunity to make a classic Decatur home your own.
