About this home

Great opportunity to purchase a 3 bedroom ranch with full basement located on the north side of Decatur near Interstate 72, Hwy 51, shopping and restaurants! The main level has a spacious living room with wood burning fireplace that opens to the kitchen. Off the living room is a screened porch, great for extra dining space or just enjoyed the outdoors "bug free". Recently refinished hardwood floors flow from the living room throughout the hallway and bedrooms. The kitchen has been updated with tile floors, granite tile counters and newer appliances (microwave to be installed above stove). The partially finished basement has a spacious rec room and full bathroom, plus three more rooms that could be used for a variety of purposes. The breezeway between the house and 2 car garage is an excellent area for a home office, sitting room, or could easily be made into a mud/laundry room. The expansive yard is almost 1/2 acre and has beautiful mature trees. Other updates include the roof (only 3 yrs old), new garage door and new water heater. This long-time family home is ready for a new owner to make it their own!
