About this home

Bring your toolbelt and make your vision a reality! This home has already had most of its main components updated, so now it's time for a face-lift! The open-concept between the kitchen and dining room makes this space feel airy and inviting while entertaining family and friends. There are replacement windows throughout most of the home, offering tons of natural light and a cool breeze on those upcoming autumn days. If you've always wanted an enclosed porch to enjoy your morning coffee in privacy, look no further! With a little creativity and sweat equity, you can turn this unfinished space into a cozy home that you'll never want to leave!

About Nelson Park-Lyons

Park

Nelson Park-Lyons Park, located between Downtown Decatur and Lake Decatur, is a park-centered and residential Decatur neighborhood with broad green space and a laid-back, outdoorsy feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Nelson Park area, where ballfields, playground energy, and trail traffic set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward modest mid-century and older single-family homes with mature trees and deep yards. Lyons Park adds another pocket of courts and open lawn that keeps the landscape feeling spacious. For local culture, the Decatur Area Arts Council and the historic Lincoln Square Theater anchor nearby outings. On weekends, the Decatur Farmers Market brings a seasonal, walk-and-browse ritual to the edge of the neighborhood.
