Welcome to your dream home in the beautiful gated community of Christmas Lake Village in Santa Claus, Indiana! This stunning, move-in ready 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is available for immediate possession after closing and has been completely remodeled inside and out - the roof, furnace, AC, and water heater are all just 2 years old.

You'll find a large second living room near the staircase as well, featuring several windows that let in a plethora of natural light. The main-level primary bedroom includes a spacious private bathroom and large closet. A half bath and a large laundry room with storage complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find 3 additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom. The outdoor space is an entertainer's dream - featuring a beautiful back deck and an above-ground pool with a deck built around it. Discover the perfect space for all your storage and workshop needs with the spacious detached 2.5-car garage, measuring an impressive 30 x 45 feet.
