Wonderful brick home with boat dock in a great part of Lake Decatur. Dock has a Brinkoetter sign. Open the round top door to this home and feel the cozy warmth. Hardwood floors surround the woodburning fireplace, wide crown molding and original woodwork. Formal Dining just off the kitchen with a cute breakfast room. Main floor bath has the original small black and white tile flooring. Upstairs has a charming room and an unfinished bonus room so many things you can do with it. Rec Room with bath is super sharp. The garage will hold two cars shotgun style. Plus a super screen porch and patio. So much more
