About This Home

As of March 2025

Just outside the city limits on over an acre of land, this traditional two-story home offers the perfect blend of classic charm and convenience. The inviting covered front porch is ideal for unwinding and greeting neighbors. Inside, the layout features a formal living room with a cozy fireplace--perfect for hosting gatherings. French doors lead to the partially fenced backyard, providing a private and peaceful retreat. The formal dining area seamlessly flows into the kitchen, an entertainer's dream with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, a spacious pantry, and counter seating. The expansive great room, with sliding doors leading to the back deck, offers a perfect space for both casual and formal entertaining, all while enjoying serene outdoor views. A convenient laundry room and a versatile bedroom/office complete the main floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite provides a true retreat, featuring an attached bath with a jetted tub, double vanity, shower, and a walk-in closet. Three oversized bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. The unfinished basement presents endless possibilities--whether you envision it as a family theater, home office, additional bedroom, or extra living space. With plumbing already in place for a future bathroom and a 17x12 storage area, it's ready for your personal touch. Freshly painted with new carpeting installed in 2024, this home is full of closet and storage space throughout. You're conveniently located near Flint Lake Elementary School and 49 bypass, toll road, parks, schools, shops, restaurants, and the YMCA, just minutes from vibrant downtown Valparaiso.
