About This Home

As of December 2020

The charm has been restored to this 1900 Downtown Chesterton Home. Close to major highways, the toll road, shopping, restaurants, and town festivities. The moment you walk into this gem you will feel right at home! Too many upgrades to list but I will name a few. New roof (one layer), quartz counters, tile backsplash, massive island that seats 4 with cabinets on both sides of the island that offers plenty of storage, new stainless steel appliances, new HVAC system, new drain tile in the basement, vinyl plank flooring on main level, finished laundry room and a guest bathroom. Take a moment and relax on your covered porch!
