This sharp ranch offers easy living with a low-maintenance vinyl exterior, replacement windows and a fantastic indoor–outdoor flow. A two-car attached garage plus an additional outbuilding provide plenty of storage or hobby space. The fenced yard is ideal for pets, gardening, or simply relaxing, and the property is just a short walk to Lake Decatur. Inside, the home features a spacious L-shaped living area anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves. There may be hardwood floors waiting to be uncovered beneath the carpet, giving you an exciting opportunity to add value and character. The kitchen comes fully equipped — including the refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, garbage disposal, washer, and dryer — making move-in simple. A generous 4-foot-deep crawl space adds even more storage options. This home blends comfort, convenience, and potential in a location that’s hard to beat. Priced to sell "as-is.
