SINGLE_FAMILY - Valparaiso, IN
Write your next chapter at this 19th-century gem, where time lingers and the landscape feels literary. Built in 1893, this home rises from its setting with the quiet, enduring confidence of a house surrounded not by neighbors, but by woods and open sky. At its heart, the main level is grounded by a thoughtfully updated kitchen--an anchoring space with an island, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The living room unfolds with an adjoining flex space, easily imagined as a formal dining room or an expanded living room for long conversations and winter nights. At the north end, a private office offers a place to work or write, while a mudroom with laundry and a separate three-quarter bath quietly completes the main floor weaving practicality with the home's character. Upstairs, three bedrooms carry the home's most charming note. The primary suite opens to its own en-suite ba...
Write your next chapter at this 19th-century gem, where time lingers and the landscape feels literary. Built in 1893, this home rises from its setting with the quiet, enduring confidence of a house surrounded not by neighbors, but by woods and open sky. At its heart, the main level is grounded by a thoughtfully updated kitchen--an anchoring space with an island, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The living room unfolds with an adjoining flex space, easily imagined as a formal dining room or an expanded living room for long conversations and winter nights. At the north end, a private office offers a place to work or write, while a mudroom with laundry and a separate three-quarter bath quietly completes the main floor weaving practicality with the home's character. Upstairs, three bedrooms carry the home's most charming note. The primary suite opens to its own en-suite bath and a private balcony overlooking the fenced backyard and bordering woods--no rooftops, no interruptions. It is a vantage point meant for morning air, evening stillness, and moments of pause. Outside, the property opens into a fenced, private yard. The oversized garage, with an unfinished loft above, offers uncommon scale and possibility: studio, workshop, storage, or something yet unnamed. The chicken coop remains, a fitting nod to the property's pastoral charm. Though the setting feels removed, the location is strikingly convenient--across from Union Center Elementary, with Wheeler Middle and High Schools just up the road, and quick access to both US-30 and Route 149. Beneath its poetic history, the home has been carefully modernized. Municipal Lake Michigan water, a fully replaced septic system (2018), updated wiring and plumbing, forced-air heating, and central air conditioning. All appliances, including the washer and dryer, remain. A home for those drawn to character, individualism, and stories yet to be written--where the past is felt, but the future is entirely yours.
