About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to 1845 N Jay Ave in Griffith! This charming, move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bath brick and limestone ranch is tucked away on nearly a half-acre lot, offering both space and privacy in a peaceful setting. The home's standout feature is the sunken great room, where you'll find a warm fireplace, tall beamed ceilings, and a large picture window that fills the space with natural light--creating a welcoming atmosphere for both relaxing and entertaining. The full main-level bathroom was just completely remodeled, and the home also features fresh paint, professionally cleaned carpets, a whole house fan, and central air conditioning for year-round comfort. Downstairs, you'll find a mostly finished basement with a non-conforming bedroom. While perfect as a guest room, it also lends itself to countless other uses--such as a private home office, playroom, fitness area, man cave, or hobby room. The large laundry room includes ample storage with built-in cabinetry, keeping everything organized and functional. Step outside to a spacious wooden deck overlooking your private backyard oasis. With mature trees providing shade and privacy, and a partially fenced yard, it's ideal for gatherings, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors. To the north, a scenic 13-acre wooded lot inhabited by deer and other wildlife offers an ever-changing natural backdrop, making this property truly special for nature lovers. A 2.5-car detached garage with brand new doors and openers provides plenty of space for vehicles, while the rear storage addition is perfect for tools, lawn equipment, or outdoor gear. Conveniently located just a few miles from I-80/94, this home makes commuting easy while keeping property taxes low--just over 2,000 per year. If you're seeking a property that balances character, thoughtful updates, and a peaceful natural setting, 1845 N Jay Ave is ready to welcome you home.
