Character, updates, space, and a great setting come together in this distinctive ranch-style home just a couple blocks from Lake Decatur! Situated on a generous 0.46-acre corner lot surrounded by mature trees, this home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a finished lower level, attached 2-car garage, and plenty of indoor and outdoor living space. Step inside and the living room immediately makes an impression. Original hardwood floors pair beautifully with the dramatic cathedral wood-beamed ceiling, while a large bay window fills the room with natural light.

Three bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the main level. Downstairs, the finished basement adds valuable flexible living space with a family/recreation room, bonus room, second full bathroom, and dedicated laundry room. The washer and dryer stay, and the lower level also provides direct interior access to the attached 2-car garage. The basement has been waterproofed for additional peace of mind. Outside, the large back deck creates an excellent spot for grilling, entertaining, or simply relaxing beneath the mature trees. An extended asphalt driveway provides plenty of additional parking.
