1950 W Forest Ave, Decatur, IL 62522
About this home
Business like in the front and a party like in the back! Cape cods are always unassuming, until you get inside, and this one is a doozie! West end by nature but has many atypical traits, like a TWO CAR GARAGE, MAIN FLOOR MASTER WITH BATH, and a huge open concept GRANITE KITCHEN with 6 FT ISLAND and eating bar that opens to a light, bright VAULTED FAMILY ROOM with skylights and built in cabinetry. All three baths have been completely renovated with custom fixtures, tile and cabinetry. There's 2 GAS FIREPLACES, a main floor den and lots of storage. It sits down a long driveway overlooking a spacious fenced back yard, but all together amasses just under . 60 OF AN ACRE. In addition it backs to Montgomery Place. This home has been meticulously maintained and is waiting for it's new family!
