About This Home

WANTED: NEW HOMEOWNERS! Built last year--but already better than new, with premium upgrades that add charm, character, and modern luxury. Why wait for a builder-basic home when this fully upgraded, move-in ready home is available now in one of Valparaiso's most desirable communities? This 4 bedroom, 3 bath custom home stands apart with elevated finishes and thoughtful enhancements throughout. The gourmet kitchen features a larger island, built-in cabinetry, an upgraded sink, and a stylish dry bar - ideal for hosting. The coffered ceiling in the living room, tray ceiling in the primary suite, and fireplace add warmth and sophistication. Convenience reigns with an upstairs laundry room, and extra windows bring in plenty of natural light throughout. Additional upgrades include: Three full bathrooms, 12x12 deck off the back, tall basement ceilings with bathroom rough-in. Set on a premium, secluded lot, this home blends privacy with community perks. The Brooks community will soon offer a zero-entry pool, clubhouse, and over 3 miles of scenic trails. Plus, you're just minutes from top-rated schools and all that Valpo has to offer. This is more than new - it's move-in perfect and fully upgraded. Schedule your showing TODAY!
