The owner built this house himself. Every board in the walls he nailed. The truss roof he installed. He personally laid the 2,000 feet of hot water pipes in the main floor and the basement and placed reflectors under the pipes to push the heat up. Every ounce of insulation he installed. Outside there is a very large lawn in both front and back. Beautiful views, especially to the north (no shades needed) from the Dining room, kitchen and family rooms. Plenty of room to garden. The roof line is simple and clean to make room for high ceilings. Very few walls make 1,688 square feet live like 2,500 square feet. Large garage (728 Sq ft) with, you guessed it, a woodburning furnace just in case the hot water heat ever fails you. Come and make this unique creation into your own home.

The owner actually built this house himself. Every board in the walls he nailed. The truss roof he installed. He laid 2,000 feet of water pipe for radiant heat in the main floor and the basement with reflectors under each pipe to push the heat up. ($46 per month for NIPSCO gas budget bill for full time living) Every ounce of insulation he installed. The windows and doors he put up. Outside there is a very large lawn in both front and back. The roof line is simple to create high ceilings inside. The absence of walls make 1,688 square feet live like 2,500. Outside there are trees to the north and a huge lawn to the south. The country living views from the Dining Room, kitchen, and family room face north making shades unnecessary. Large garage with, you guessed it, a wood burning furnace just in case the hot water heat ever fails you. Move in to enjoy this work of love as your own.
