About This Home

As of October 2020

All the hard work has been done so you can relax and enjoy the serene large lot and sun-filled interior on this quiet dead-end street. Enter into the living room with accent wall that opens into the kitchen/eat-in area. Set up this space with a bar table and stools or a skinny table and benches if you want to use the dining room in back as additional living space! Kitchen details include soft-close cabinets, Quartz counters, and moroccan tile backsplash. Look out the kitchen window on to the tranquil back patio and fenced yard (accessed through the dining room). Upstairs, 2 large bedrooms share a bath with contemporary vanity and refinished tub. Lower level has one large bedroom and a smaller one with a walk-in closet that is perfect for working from home. Large back and front yards give this home a very peaceful and relaxed feel. Storage area behind the carport for all those things you want but don't want to see all the time. Convenient to downtown Decatur, multiple grocery stores, 20, and 285.
