About This Home

As of July 2012

All brick, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired California Ranch home located on beautiful Forest Avenue in Munster. Although recently updated with a newer roof, furnace, air conditioner (less than a year old), water heater and appliances, this home was never touched by the flood, nor does it require flood insurance. Both bathrooms and kitchen redone, with a gorgeous custom-sculpted three-tier deck in back. Three generous sized bedrooms, plenty of closet space, 5 wide oak plank floors and finished basement (with outside entrance) with French doors and custom built bookcase. Huge Pella windows make you feel like you're part of the outdoors. Vaulted ceilings throughout gives the home an even larger feel. All brick, vent-free gas fireplace provides plenty of heat extraordinarily efficiently. Beautifully landscaped fenced-in yard with a finished three-season porch complete this home. One car garage with lean-to offers plenty of space for your car and tools. Also has a grand fathered-in parking pad
