About This Home

555 Taft Place is a newly remodeled all brick home located in the historic Horace Mann area of Gary. The main level has an open concept layout that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining and living room areas. The impressive kitchen is bright and airy with beautiful back splash wall tile and flooring, quartz counter tops, and is complete with stainless steel appliances. The charming dining area has plenty of natural light as well as recessed lighting on the main level. Also, on the main level are newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. There are 2 bedrooms and a sunroom that blends indoor comfort with outdoor beauty as it has lots of windows emitting in natural sunlight. The sunroom is perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation or for hosting guests. The two full bathrooms, one on the main level and one in the basement have Italian inspired polished wall tile. There is a finished basement with new carpeting, a large laundry room, a full bathroom with a shower, and a potentially 3rd bedroom with a walk-in closet and storage space. Garage and fenced in backyard. This home is ideally located near major expressways for an easy commute West to Chicago or East to Michigan. It is near Hard Rock Casino, minutes to Miller Beach and Lake Etta and Bella Boos Play and Discovery Center. Meticulously finished, this is a MUST SEE! Please leave the 2 bedroom lights on and dim the living Room lights. Thank you. Home back on market, NO FAULT OF SELLER!!
