Quaint, classy, and withstanding the test of time! This Home located on W Walnut in Decatur is walking distance to the historic downtown Decatur square. Imagine mornings, drinking coffee on your front porch and watching the sun rise over the recently restored Wise County courthouse, or working on flowerbeds in your oversized backyard on a property that measures just under half an acre, in town! From the moment you enter this home, you are greeted with aged charm, and intricate character that is not found in most. Walking in the current front door, you step into a great room that measures over 35 feet wide and could function great as a den or living room. The room has a wood stove insert in the fireplace and would make a great space to sit down and discuss the history of Decatur! Opposite the front door, there is one of the guest bedrooms with attached full bathroom. This would be a great space for extended stay guests who would like their own entrance and privacy. After visiting in the great room, you make your way to the shotgun style kitchen and eat in dining area! This area is a former porch and became an add on in the homes past! Adjacent to the kitchen is another living area or TV room. Much smaller than the front living area, this space is right off the kitchen and gives a real cozy space to sit and watch a movie. Next on the list is the primary. Located in the back of the house, the primary bedroom has quite a bit of space for a house of this age, closets, and its own ensuite bathroom with shower and tub. Lastly, we have the third guest bedroom which has access from the living room or utility room, close to the washer and dryer, and has a full bathroom a few steps away! Properties like this are rare in Downtown Decatur. The large lot does have a she shed in the back yard for storage or activities, and the back and side yard are fenced for privacy. This unique property offers all the sights and sounds of Decatur and front row seats to the Christmas parade!!
