235 S Crea St in Decatur, IL presents a great investment opportunity for a new owner. Including a 2nd parcel (245 S Crea St), the vacant land adjacent to the house, offering potential for expansion or development. This two-story home, boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, is conveniently located near Millikin University.
