This 3.3 acre private lot is a rare find in Valparaiso. The lot has all utilities ran already and is ready to be built upon. There is a pole barn in the back corner of the lot and a drive that extends from Joliet Road, through a gate, and up to where a home used to exist. The Lot has been cleaned up, leveled out, and is ready for a new home.
As of June 8th, seller will entertain both cash and 203k offers. Imagine the possibilities with this 7,000+ square foot home on over 3 acres! Home needs some work but could be an amazing home with an inground pool, pool house, pole barn, hot tubs and large garage. A $75 buyer doc fee to be paid at closing. All contracts/offers are subject to senior management approval and any offers or counter offers are not binding unless the entire agreeement is ratified by all parties. Proof of funds, copy of EM, required with all offer submissions. Home will be sold in as-is, where-is condition.
