About This Home

As of July 2025

JUST LISTED-- 709 Decatur Street, Lincoln is going to be a great opportunity for someone! First time home buyers, real estate investors, downsizing, and on! This tidy 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,032 sq ft home is priced to sell at $49,900! Here's your chance to own for less than the cost of rent! Inside you'll find a decent sized front living room, small bath, additional playroom/living space, an updated eat-in kitchen, informal dining, and large rear bedroom (no closet). In years past, the second bedroom was converted into the current laundry room, and with the current price, there's room for you to tweak this home to suit your needs! At the back of the property--off the alley, you'll find a nice detached 2 car garage with vinyl siding, built in 2008. The roof was replaced in 2020, newer water heater, and more! Call your real estate agent to see 709 Decatur Street, Lincoln!
