Amazing opportunity to own your own private retreat on the north side. Just minutes from Valparaiso, Chesterton, the toll road, and the beach. This home has been updated and features an open concept layout, new stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, ceramic tile, a laundry chute, and a stunning master bathroom. There is a formal living room area with a large bay window showing off the private views in the back yard.

The newly added front porch is great for your morning coffee. There is also a large mudroom leading to the back entrance of the home. The garage/barn is plumbed for a bath and has a full loft that is great for storage or to convert to another living space. Behind the home is a wooded paradise with walking trails, a bridge, and a creek that has seasonal salmon.
