Invisible from the road and framed by mature trees and a scenic pond, the property delivers unmatched privacy and serenity with the convenience of modern living. Built in 2004, the stately main residence welcomes you with a grand covered wrap-around porch and classic pillars, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. Inside, rich hardwood floors, detailed archways, and custom built-ins highlight the quality construction, while oversized windows and a bay window in the great room provide picturesque views of the pond and surrounding forest. The main floor is designed for both comfort and entertaining, featuring a spacious primary suite with full ensuite, a den with coffered ceiling and wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, and a cozy sitting room warmed by a wood-burning stove. The chef's kitchen is equipped with granite counters, an island with prep sink, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry. A mudroom and dedicated laundry room add everyday convenience. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and a large recreation room provide space to unwind or gather, while the expansive walk-out basement offers potential for additional living or entertaining space. A porte-cochere connects to the three-car detached garage and charming two-story guest house, complete with a full kitchen, dining area, and guest bedroom on the main level. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom suite with 3/4 bath makes for a private and comfortable retreat for extended family or guests. Though some updates may be desired, the bones of this home are solid, the setting is extraordinary, and the opportunities are endless. A rare and remarkable property offering peaceful seclusion within easy reach of everything Northwest Indiana has to offer.
