THIS ONE IS A SURPRISE! Tucked away on two parcels totaling approximately 1.5 acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch is full of character, charm, and unexpected extras. The sellers are sad to leave, but a relocation out of state means their loss is your gain—they only wish they could take the house with them! Custom built with an artistic eye, the home features exposed wood beams, custom built-ins, vaulted ceilings in the family room, and a warm, rustic feel you just don't find every day. The 4-season room may quickly become your favorite spot in the house, offering beautiful views of the parklike backyard and a front-row seat to the deer and wildlife that regularly visit. Nature lovers and gardeners will appreciate the space for gardens, flower beds, landscaping, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. And then there's the GARAGE! Fully equipped with electricity, a furnace, storage, a covered inspection pit, and four overhead doors. Room for a motor home, boats, vehicles, hobbies, projects, and more. A spacious 4-foot crawl space provides convenient access. Close to parks, the lake, shopping, and restaurants. Cozy, unique, functional, and surrounded by nature—this home is truly one you need to see in person to appreciate!
Country Manor, located between U.S. 36 and Interstate 72, is a residential and suburban Decatur neighborhood with curving streets and mature trees. The neighborhood reads as mid-century ranches and tidy split-levels set behind broad lawns and long driveways. Much of the local rhythm concentrates around the U.S. 36 corridor near the Fairview Park area, where everyday errands cluster amid low-slung storefronts and steady traffic. Community touchstones nearby include the Decatur Civic Center for concerts and events, the Transfer House for local history, and the Hieronymus Mueller Museum for a glimpse of the city’s industrial-era craft. Green space and walking loops shape the pace, with Fairview Park acting as a natural outdoor anchor. The setting feels quietly connected to Decatur’s west-side parks, schools, and shopping corridors without losing its residential calm.
