About this home

Single Family · Built 1935 · Historic

Country living with room to breathe on nearly an acre, located on Decatur’s far northeast side in the Argenta-Oreana School District. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers the peace and privacy of a rural setting while still being conveniently close to town. The home features a new furnace installed in 2023 and a roof replaced within the last five years, providing buyers with confidence in the major mechanicals. The single-level layout offers comfortable living with potential to personalize or expand over time. The spacious lot provides endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, or additional outbuildings. If you’ve been looking for an affordable home with country feel, acreage, and solid updates already in place, this is an opportunity worth a look.
