About This Home

As of December 2025

Live in the heart of downtown Valparaiso in this charming, character-filled 1920s two-story bungalow! The current owner is only the second to cherish this sturdy home, which offers timeless appeal with thoughtful updates throughout. Enjoy relaxing on the inviting front porch or admiring the home's rich architectural details--craftsman stair rail and newel post, wide trim, hardwood floors, and original doors. Modern comfort blends beautifully with period charm thanks to a remodeled upstairs bath featuring a new clawfoot tub, updated main-floor ensuite, new roof (2020), insulation and siding (2021), electrical panel (2017), and rebuilt basement stairs (2019), plus new main water line. The spacious primary suite, part of a 1970 addition, offers generous closet space and extra basement storage. A dry basement with half bath, large two-car garage, and fenced yard complete this downtown gem--perfect for those who love history, character, and convenience!
