It is not every day that a property as pretty as this comes on the market. This all brick ranch sits in the middle of a beautiful wooded two acre parcel. The entire back yard is fenced. And Yes, the gutters have leaf guards! The garage is huge with room for 4 cars if they are piggy backed. Beautiful oak floors have been installed and a lot of the lighting has been changed out. The main bath has been updated. The basement has a working fireplace and is partially finished. Behind the retro bar is a mini kitchen complete with sink and electric stove. Upon entering the foyer, the spacious living room and dining room provide the perfect ambience with generous views of the back yard. The fireplace is a perfect focal point to both rooms. While the home features hot water heat, duct work for the central air was installed in 1999. This home is secluded from the street by towering trees. Less than a 10 minute drive to Valparaiso. The views are fabulous, take a look and see!

It is not every day that a property as pretty as this comes on the market. The all brick ranch sits in the middle of a beautiful wooded two acre parcel. The entire back yard is fenced. The single layer roof was put on in 1996. New gutters with leaf guards were added within the past year. The garage is huge!There is room for 4 cars if they are piggy backed. The pump for the well was replaced approx. 10 years ago. The basement has a working fireplace and is partially finished. Behind the retro bar is a mini kitchen complete with sink and electric stove. Upon entering the foyer, the spacious living room and dining room provide the perfect ambience with generous views of the back yard. The fireplace is a perfect focal point to both rooms. While the home features hot water heat, duct work for the central air was installed in 1999. This home is secluded from the street by towering trees. Less than a 10 minute drive to Valparaiso. Home needs a little updating but the property and views are fabulous!
