About this home

Traditional two story, four-bedroom home offers a coveted main floor bedroom and convenient main floor laundry. But it’s the old-fashioned charm with hardwood floors throughout that will catch your eye and make you feel at home. The covered front porch invites you to sit in the shade. Or cool off in the central air and gather in the large living room or in the adjoining dining room. The kitchen features updated cabinets, newer stove and overhead microwave. There is more space upstairs with three additional bedrooms. This home has most of the windows replaced and new central air installed in 2023.

About Gm

Square

Gm Square, located between I-72 and downtown Decatur, is a commercial and residential Decatur neighborhood with big-box corridors and pocket green spaces. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the US-36 (Eldorado Street) and N Water Street area, where storefront signage, driveways, and steady traffic set a practical, errands-first rhythm. Nearby, the Decatur Civic Center anchors the calendar with concerts and events, while the Transfer House preserves a small but telling slice of local history. Streets shift from wide arterials to quieter blocks with mid-century ranch homes and compact apartment buildings. Retail pads and parking lots define many corners, with the Sangamon River and lake country a short drive north for a change of scenery.
