About This Home

As of June 2026

Serenity in Valparaiso. This amazing house is priced to move. This exceptional 5.16 acre wooded retreat showcases true artisan craftsmanship, featuring a one of a kind 3 story custom cedar home built with chinked and pegged oak beam construction, a copper colored metal roof, and new Anderson windows that elevate both durability and design. Inside, rich Knotty Alder cabinetry, wood stove in dining room, granite countertops, and a new JennAir gourmet stove/oven highlight the kitchen's upscale rustic appeal, while the master bedroom offers a luxurious escape with a private balcony and generous closets. The beautifully updated central bath includes a large soaking tub, tiled shower, and striking petrified wood sink, adding a spa like touch. Modern comfort is ensured with a new furnace and A/C (2022) and a 22 kW Generac whole house emergency generator, making this property a rare blend of refined luxury, timeless craftsmanship, and serene natural surroundings.
