Step inside to discover the thoughtful updates that make this Colonial both timeless and turn-key. Freshly refinished hardwood floors and freshly painted walls create a bright, welcoming backdrop, while upgraded lighting fixtures add modern elegance throughout. The double-story foyer sets the tone, with soaring ceilings and transom windows framing the entries to the dining room and front living room—perfect as a formal gathering space or a private home office. At the heart of the home, the living room features an all-brick fireplace with gas logs flanked by custom built-ins, seamlessly connecting to the eat-in kitchen. From here, the living space flows outdoors to the newly rebuilt screened porch and expansive deck, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or evenings spent under the stars. Upstairs, new plush carpet in the bedrooms adds comfort and quiet, while built-in desks and shelving in secondary bedrooms bring both charm and function. The terrace level offers even more versatility with a private exterior entrance, new LVP flooring, and refreshed finishes—an ideal space for a guest suite, rec room, or future apartment. Everyday living is made easier with thoughtful details, from the walk-in pantry and mudroom entry to the main-level laundry room (complete with a hidden laundry chute). Beyond the walls, life in Great Lakes is all about community. At the end of the street, the community-funded Waddell Park offers a beloved green space for gathering, play, and connection. And with Decatur Square just blocks away, you can leave the car at home and enjoy award-winning restaurants, coffee shops, and the vibrant, welcoming vibe that defines Decatur—all right at your doorstep.
