This is the kind of fixer upper that makes the right buyer pause mid-scroll. Set on a rare . 85-acre lot in desirable Valparaiso, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers over 2,500 square feet of opportunity in a location that punches above its weight. Yes, it needs work. But for the buyer with vision, this is the sort of property where sweat equity can hit like rocket fuel. Built in 1910, the home has a solid, homey feel with plenty of space to rework, restore, or reimagine. Outside, the massive yard and in-ground pool give you room to breathe, room to play, and room to create something special. The in-ground pool needs attention, but it is not hard to picture it coming back to life as the centerpiece of the backyard. This is not the polished, turnkey option. It is the opportunity play. Big lot, strong location, great bones, and real upside in a part of Valpo where chances like this are getting harder to come by.
Best of both worlds. Just outside of town, yet a beautiful country setting. Originally built in 1910, but remodeled with many updates and main floor master suite. A must see to appreciate this well maintained home which offers an updated kitchen with lovely cabinets, newer windows throughout, a security system (buyers will need to set up servicing company). New carpeting in the main floor master and living room, plus 4 zone heating. The roof was just installed in 2016. But that is not all! The inground pool is approximately 18 x 36 with an automatic cover. The pool cover & pump are about 2 years old. Use the sun room when entertaining around the pool, there is a wet bar for convenience. This room could also be used for crafts, art work, reading or den. The upper level offers 3 bedrooms, a loft/rec room area and a full bath for convenience. Imagine relaxing on the large front porch. Welcome home.
