Step inside to an airy, open-concept layout where natural light pours across the main living areas. The modern kitchen features clean lines, generous counter space, and seamless flow into the dining and living rooms—perfect for gatherings of any size. A striking stacked-stone fireplace anchors the family room, adding warmth and sophistication. Upstairs and down, the home offers large, flexible spaces ideal for entertaining, working, or relaxing. The bedrooms are generously sized, with multiple suites providing privacy for family or guests. If you're looking for a rare opportunity this is the one for you!
Bayshore, located between Lake Decatur and U.S. Route 51, is a residential and lakeside Decatur neighborhood with shoreline views and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Shore Drive and Dam West Recreation Area area, where boat ramps, picnic lawns, and trail traffic set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and split-levels, with pockets of newer builds oriented toward the water. Lakefront greenspace shapes an outdoors-forward routine, from shoreline walks to fishing coves. Nearby cultural anchors like the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater and the Scovill Zoo add a civic, weekend-calendar feel without leaving the lake corridor.
