About This Home

As of December 2016

Resort style living on the lake!! This A-frame has GORGEOUS views of Lake Decatur from its walls of windows on the main level and the basement level that look out over a large deck (Main), screened tiled patio (basement), and tiered back yard to the lakefront and dock. The main floor living room boasts 2-story rich wood siding with circular staircase to the loft (bonus room) that could easily be a 2nd bedroom (just add an armoire). The lower level has the open kitchen, family room, and dining area combo. The unfinished area of the basement houses the laundry area. There are a couple of cedar-lined closets too. This treasure is tucked away in a more private neighborhood.
