One of the few lakefront views without high lake taxes due to the small access road that runs between the house and the lake. It took me four years to find this house and I've been in it over seven years. Wonderful views in the great Forest Knolls neighborhood right on the lake. Spacious 2 BR ranch with finished lower level 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 appliances and much more. State Farm told me the roof has another seven years left, but it will need some work on the seawall and dock in the next couple of years. I'm willing to rent while upgrades or other construction are done to the liking of the new owner.

What the owner loves about this home
We have the best neighbors! The lake view is also one of the best in town, and it's among my five top 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. We also have 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.
