Welcome to 3829 N. MacArthur—a solid 3-bedroom home offering great space, a prime location, and room to make it your own. Located on Decatur’s desirable north side, this ranch is close to shopping, dining, schools, and parks. The home features beautiful hardwood floors, a spacious kitchen with vinyl plank flooring (included and ready to install), and a huge backyard perfect for outdoor living. The two-car attached garage is connected by a breezeway, and the full unfinished basement offers workspace and future potential. Major updates include a new furnace / AC and a freshly pumped septic in 2025. The home is on city water. It needs some TLC and a personal touch, but it’s priced right for buyers looking to build equity in a great location. Please note: the home is on a fuse box, and some electrical updates may be needed.
