Picture yourself enjoying a cup of coffee on the covered porch. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room with newer laminate wood floors that extend throughout the main level, complemented by new windows that let in plenty of natural light. The attention to detail is evident with oversized trim and modern doors enhancing the home's appeal. The kitchen has been completely remodeled, featuring tall cabinets, gorgeous granite countertops, backsplash, and a convenient walk-in pantry. A sliding door leads to the patio, surrounded by beautifully landscaped outdoor space, all enclosed by a 6-foot vinyl fence installed in 2019. A bonus feature is the expansive common ground behind the home, easily accessible through your private gate. On the main floor, you'll also find a half bath that was updated in 2021. Moving upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a large rec room that can double as another bedroom. The primary suite boasts a private bathroom, also fully updated in 2021, and a surprisingly spacious walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms share an updated full bath, with laundry facilities conveniently located upstairs. The rec room is perfect for entertaining, and you'll stay comfortable year-round thanks to the mini-split AC and heating unit. Located in a great subdivision, this home is just a short distance from downtown Valpo, major highways, shopping, hiking trails, and Dunes State Park. Recent updates include a garage with an epoxy floor and EV outlet, freshly painted and mudded in 2024, new ceiling fans, and a new garage door. The front windows were replaced in 2023, along with a new roof. All bathrooms were gutted and updated in 2021, and the vinyl fence was installed in 2019, along with a cozy fire pit added in 2018. This home truly has it all!
