Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this spacious home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Decatur’s desirable north end—just minutes from the interstate, shopping, and restaurants. The backyard is a private oasis and the house is surrounded by lush landscaping with drip irrigation, providing a peaceful outdoor retreat.
Recent updates include freshly painted exterior brick with matching vinyl siding, a new roof in 2024, new HVAC in 2018, and a new water heater in 2019. The unfinished portion of the basement has been professionally waterproofed to eliminate occasional seepage.
Inside, you’ll find generous living spaces and a lower level that works perfectly as a guest suite. The thoughtful updates and meticulous maintenance make this home as functional as it is beautiful.
Located in the desirable North end of Decatur with easy access to the internet, shopping, restaurants, the extensive Macon County bike/running trail, and Cresthaven pickleball courts
