About This Home

As of May 2025

Put yourself in the heart of one of Valparaiso's most desirable neighborhoods only 1/2 block off Washington Street! This darling pre-turn of the century Cape Cod with a look right out of Charleston will welcome you home with warmth and comfort. Beautifully refreshed kitchen, with maple floors & all the right modern touches including quartz, backsplash tile, a splash of color from the cabinets that offer great storage, and Kenmore Elite stainless steel appliances. Hardwood floors spread the warmth of the light from the all season sunroom into the dining area. Living room is expansive at 31'x13' with plenty of room for both a sitting area and a viewing area. High end Marvin Windows add beauty, durability, and performance. Plantation shutters add the southern charm and functionality for evening privacy. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms with a very functional period-based modern full bath & three walk-in closets. Main floor laundry/mudroom. Basement is finished industrially, with some woodgrain-look workout rubber flooring, with a couple of flex rooms, one as a rec room and one as a den/fitness room, plus a full finished bathroom. 2 car heated attached garage is amazing. House was rewired and replumbed in the last 25 years. Water softener is owned. High eff furnace 2016 and high eff water heater 2015. 200 amp elec. Frig in basement stays. Yard care here is simplified by the mulch beds with ground cover, bushes, and perennials surrounding the patio and private deck-so no grass to mow. Short stroll to everything our thriving downtown Valparaiso has to offer, including music, festivals, shops, restaurants, services, and more! Closing no earlier than May 19 is preferred.
