Country meets convenience! Located just off Route 30 and less than 15 minutes from downtown Valparaiso, this home sits on nearly half an acre with views of an open field -- all while offering quick access to shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. Inside, the home feels bright and open with vaulted ceilings, ample natural light, and a second-floor balcony overlooking the main living area. It features 3 bedrooms, each with large walk-in closets, and 2.5 bathrooms. The main-floor primary ensuite includes private patio doors leading directly to the back deck, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen is both functional and updated, offering granite countertops, cabinet underlighting, and stainless steel refrigerator, range, and hood all replaced in 2023. A main floor laundry room adds everyday convenience. Several major updates have already been taken care of, including a newer HVAC system (2023), recently serviced whole-house generator, and recently serviced water heater. Roof is also estimated to be under 10 years old! The crawl space is equipped with a sump pump and vapor barrier for added peace of mind. Outside, you'll find plenty of birdsong, a dreamy wraparound porch, freshly painted and maintained wood siding, and a back deck that overlooks the open yard, large garden, and neighboring field. The 4-car garage is a standout feature, complete with in-floor drains, plumbing, and electricity. There's also an electrified shed for additional storage or workspace. With a low HOA and a well-maintained interior and exterior, this home offers both comfort and flexibility in a highly accessible location. Book your showing today!
