About This Home

As of June 2025

What a gem! Located on the north side of Valparaiso, this 2,200 plus square foot home is situated off the beaten path, yet convenient to town and highways. The newly fenced-in back yard is an oasis for barbeques and enjoying summer evenings. Inside, space abounds, from the eat-in kitchen to the huge rec room with fireplace. Upstairs, you'll find the main bedroom with huge walk-in closet and en suite and a second bedroom which also boasts a large walk-in closet. A third bedroom, full bath, dining room and office space round out the main floor. Don't let this home pass you by, as it won't be available long! Showings to start Friday, June 10th.
