About This Home

As of April 2026

Welcome to 411 Forest View Drive in Valparaiso, a 1.5-story home set on 1.3 acres in Porter Township offering space, privacy, and a peaceful setting while still being conveniently located near the amenities of Northwest Indiana. The main level features an open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining area, and living room flow together with the dining and living room beneath a vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of openness and natural light. The living room is anchored by a fireplace, while recessed lighting and laminate flooring create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is well appointed with updated cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and a large island that provides both prep space and seating. Just off the kitchen is an updated sunroom, a bright space to enjoy year-round that leads directly to the outdoor deck overlooking the expansive backyard. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, including two with attached bathrooms, along with a convenient laundry room and a versatile loft area that can serve as a workspace, reading nook, or additional lounge area. The partial basement offers a large open finished space that can be adapted for recreation, entertaining, hobbies, or additional living needs. An attached two-car garage adds convenience and storage. One of the standout features of the property is the 1.3-acre lot, providing ample room to enjoy outdoor living. The yard offers plenty of space to garden, relax, or create your own outdoor retreat. A row of pear trees lines one side of the property, producing beautiful blooms in season, and the property includes a well-built chicken coop ready for use. Located within Porter Township and the Boone Grove School district, the property offers convenient access to downtown Valparaiso, downtown Crown Point, shopping, dining, and major commuting routes, while benefiting from Porter Township's lower property taxes.
