Pride of ownership shines throughout this exceptionally well-maintained, one-owner home on Decatur's desirable east side! Ideally located directly across from Baker Woods Park and just a block from a highly regarded Montessori school, this home offers a wonderful combination of convenience, quality, and care. From the beautifully manicured lawn and attractive landscaping to the spotless interior, it's evident this home has been lovingly maintained. Buyers will appreciate the very clean pre-inspection report, providing added confidence and peace of mind. Inside, you'll find most of the interior freshly painted, a tasteful tile backsplash in the kitchen, and a Pella sliding glass door leading to a spacious deck that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The fenced backyard offers privacy and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, while the impressive storage shed (approximately 5 years old) provides excellent space for lawn equipment, tools, or hobbies. Major updates have already been completed, including a new roof and gutters (2024), new HVAC system (2023), and new water heater (2019). Built with energy-efficient 6-inch exterior walls, this home combines quality construction with thoughtful updates. If you're looking for a truly move-in ready home that's been meticulously cared for in a fantastic east side location, this is one you won't want to miss!
