Recent improvements provide added value and peace of mind, including a newer furnace, an owned water softener system, and a reverse osmosis water filtration system. The breezeway connecting the home and garage has been converted into finished space and is currently set up as an office, though it can easily adapt to a variety of needs. With its unbeatable location near downtown Valparaiso and its blend of classic charm, thoughtful updates, and future potential, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy today while making it your own over time.
