About this home
One of the few lakefront views without high lake taxes due to the small access road that runs between the house and the lake. The current owner took four years to find this lovely house, and the owner has been in it for over seven years. Wonderful views in the great Forest Knolls neighborhood right on the lake. Spacious 3 BR ranch with finished lower level (3rd bedroom in basement) with wet bar, great for entertaining. Sun room on the back overlooking gazebo with hot tub and beautifully landscaped, fenced back yard, cedar-lined closets in the lower level. Deck across front of house, insulated workshop at back of garage (w/nat gas heater), storage shed, new exterior sliding door to a hot tub that has only been used twice, kitchen with granite, stainless steel appliances, and much more. State Farm told the owner the roof has another seven years left, but it will need some work on the seawall and dock in the next couple of years. Price was lowered to be competitive with the $155 per square foot range of mid-tier lakefront homes overlooking Lake Decatur. Seller has the best neighbors! The lake view is also one of the best in town, and it's among the owner's favorite sunsets in the nation. Walking distance to the Scovill Zoo and Children's Museum of Illinois, plus right across from the Devon Amphitheater that Howard Buffett funded for our town to bring in great musical performances. The Seller owns two docks, one for sitting and one for a boat, which is very unusual for Lake Decatur. There is a large home renovation happening next door that may boost the property value of this residence after completion....
