Located in the Near West Historical District this charming affordable home is ready to be finished. Recent major upgrades include new roof on house, repaired/new plaster on the main floor/staircase. Lots of demo completed including kitchen and baths. Contact broker to schedule a personal tour.
Lovely. The staircase and fireplace are amazing. I househunted in Decatur in 2019. The town is full of gems like this at incredible prices. I believe the town has been economically depressed for a while. Big Agriculture pulled up stakes. But if your job situation is set or can travel with you, Decatur would be worth considering, in my opinion. It has a beautiful college campus, pretty streets, a picturesque downtown and is only a short drive to the state capital where there would be lots of arts and entertainment.
@NAIMA Anne HAVILAND If “big ag” has pulled up stakes, and properties/houses like this are going relatively cheap, it looks like a perfect opportunity for small-scale organic or artisanal farms, and like-minded people to rebuild the town with farmer’s markets and the like.
