What's special

Fantastic opportunity - renovated brick home with a flexible floorplan featuring a 3-bedroom, 1-bath main residence plus an attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU — ideal for multigenerational living, guests, rental income, or a private workspace. The ADU is currently configured as a separate unit; buyers may explore interior connection options if desired. The home has newer HVAC, 1 year old water heater, and 6 year old roof. Located in the sought-after Museum School district and outside Decatur city limits (no city taxes), while still convenient to downtown Decatur, parks, and dining.
