Decatur West End: this is a rare find in the west end, .72 ac which backs up to bike trail and eventually Sangamon River. Extra large back deck with pergola walks out to private backyard: space for large gatherings, maybe add a pool or a big garden, actually, room for all these. Many updates thru out, new bamboo flooring in the kitchen and family room, new carpeting in all 3 bedrooms, living & dining room, marble tile in full bath, new large windows to view the back yard. A great place to live and enjoy, perfect for family photos around the FP with a staircase made for photo shoots and picture hanging. New kitchen appliances stay. If you are indoorsey, you will love the fireplace after a long soak in the jetted tub and hot chocolate watching the snow in the back woods on a cold winter's eve. If you are outdoorsey, nature is just right outside the deck that spans the whole back of the house. Bring your financing papers and be ready to buy and be moved in before the holidays.
This house sits on two city lots and an over half acre lot behind giving you close to an acre and plenty of space to spread out! So near to the bike trail and Lake Tokorazawa too! Bookcases flank the gas fireplace with mirror above in the large living room. Broad wall of windows in the family room looks out over spacious deck and large backyard. Upstairs hall is hardwood flooring. Walk-in closet, his-n-hers closets, and half bath in master bedroom. "Other" room in basement does not have finished ceiling. Small basketball court behind the deck. Brick patio.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
