About This Home

As of July 2023

Fabulous 2 story home literally blocks away from the vibrant Downtown Valparaiso. Imagine walking out of your front steps and being able to shop the boutiques, eat at a variety of amazing restaurants, enjoy a glass of wine/beer at a local brewery, or catch a show at the Pavillion amphitheater. That is living life to the fullest! Updated kitchen and baths, full basement with a wine cellar. Hardwood floors throughout. Charming home to say the least! Master bedroom has an attached full bath and walk in closet with skylights and an extra window. The backyard deck with patio and a fenced in yard add a nice touch for a peaceful retreat. Newer appliances and light fixtures. New sliding glass doors leading out to the deck. Attached 1 car garage leads you to the kitchen. This is a well kept home that is move in ready.
