About This Home

As of August 2020

Perfect location! This 3bdr 2ba brick ranch has 5 wooded acres behind it and 200 acres of the popular Sunset Hill Park. This home is just 15 minutes away from the popular shops and restaurants of downtown Valparaiso, Indiana Dunes Lake Shore, South Shore train station and major highways. The maintenance free brick exterior and open concept of this peaceful ranch would not only make a cozy home, but could also serve as an investment property for travel rentals due to its amazing location.
