About This Home
As of January 2025A great midcentury modern, 2232 sq' ranch sets nestled amongst the trees on 1.95 acres, just on the edge of town, within 5 minutes from I-65 and 1/2 way between Chicago and Indianapolis. The open living room with fireplace and wall mounted TV and surround sound, dining room with fireplace and kitchen (new cabinets, counters, appliances) have been completely updated. The floor to ceiling windows to show off the great view. The master bedroom is huge with a wall of windows to the backyard, plus a fireplace, 3 closets and wall mounted TV. The other three bedrooms have new flooring and paint plus the completely updated hall bath is conveniently located between them. The laundry room and 3/4 remodeled bath are just off the kitchen. The surprise factor of this home is the newly finished game room off the kitchen (was garage). Oh my, it's complete with surround sound, wall mount TV, fireplace and Hot Tub! The yard boasts a 20 x 20 raised patio, 2 utility sheds with the largest being 12 x 20. Nothing to do inside but enjoy, enjoy! Home may be purchase fully furnished. Outside needs some siding in area of garage conversion and removal of bath window. This will not be completed as seller had to relocate earlier than planned. Motivated seller will credit up to $10,000 towards buyers loan fees, closing costs, pre-paids and rate buy down with a full price offer.
