About 53 Norwood Dr

Beautiful location with all the panoramic views of Lake Decatur but not the high taxes. Situated on a 1/2 acre relatively level lot with close proximity to boat launch location if you need it. Large rooms throughout with windows to the west for afternoon sun and evening sunsets over the water. Popular ranch style home that lives larger than it appears. Just laid new vinyl plank flooring in two bedrooms and freshly painted master bedroom. Massive stone wood burning fireplace in the living rom. Equipped kitchen ready for the new chef. Appliances included along with entertainment center and flat screen TV. Attached garage can contain 2 vehicles parked tandem and still has a nice sized area for a shop. Nothing else like it on the market, unique floor plan.
