About This Home

As of February 2021

Tucked away in one of the most convenient locations in Decatur, you’ll enjoy the privacy of being on nearly an ACRE in the middle of town. This OPEN CONCEPT home has been practically rebuilt while still maintaining the character of a cape cod home. Your dog/kids will love the FENCED YARD located directly off the newly SCREENED PATIO perfect for those summer nights. And you’ll love the convenience of main floor laundry, attached garage, and a FULL BASEMENT. Whether you want to curl up by the FIREPLACE, cook up a meal in the newly RENOVATED KITCHEN with GE slate appliances, or simply bask in the sunlight that fills the rooms of this gorgeous home, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Sellers will even include the John Deere riding lawn mower with a full price offer! WOW! Homes like this don’t last long in this hot market, so call your Realtor to schedule a showing before this one is SOLD!
