Description
Step into your own Secret Garden retreat in the heart of Downtown Decatur! Just one block from Decatur schools and a short stroll to the public access and sandy beach at Lake of the Woods, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom home offers charm, comfort, and peace of mind. Whether you’re enjoying a swim, launching a kayak, or simply taking in a lakeside sunset, the lake is practically in your backyard. The property passed a USDA appraisal in 2023, and major updates since include a brand new mini split system (2024) for year-round efficiency and comfort, and a fully redone sewer line—ensuring the hard work is already done for you. Inside, you’ll find fresh flooring and paint throughout, a bright kitchen with new range and refrigerator, and generous cabinet and counter space. The full bathroom has been completely reimagined with modern finishes, including a new shower, vanity, toilet, and fixtures. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom offers a quiet escape filled with natural light. Outside, the detached two-stall garage adds convenience, while the fully fenced backyard feels like something out of The Secret Garden, complete with grapevines and a mature apple tree. This home blends thoughtful updates with natural charmdon’t miss your chance to make it yours!
