About This Home

As of November 2020

This completely updated, all-brick ranch home is conveniently located in an established neighborhood just west of downtown Valparaiso. Super durable, wood-look tile flows throughout the entire living room and kitchen, which is flooded with natural light from the new windows and huge patio door providing quick access to the sizeable backyard. The kitchen is so new the paint might still be wet. New shaker style cabinets, granite counter-tops, tiled backsplash, and stainless appliances highlight the spacious galley style kitchen with space for a large kitchen table. Down the hall are all three bedrooms with newer carpet as well as the gorgeous main bathroom, which has elegant tile covering midway up all the walls and shower surround as well as a large vanity with marble top. Just off the garage is a utility room that has space for laundry, mudroom, and kitchen pantry storage. There is also a 3/4 bath just off the laundry room.
