Country living but close to Town! Resting on 1.38 Acres in Jackson township and surrounded on 2 sides by the tranquil Moraine Nature Preserve, this 4 Bedroom, 2.5 bath home is everything you've been waiting for! Conveniently placed between Chesterton & Valparaiso with a 2-bay Morton pole barn & workshop, above ground pool and a backyard shed. Upon entering the home you will appreciate the separate bonus room on the left which can function as an office, play/craftroom, den or whatever you need it be. To the right is the dining area with direct access to the modernized kitchen. Take in the view through the Anderson sliding glass door in the eat-in kitchen of the spacious back yard. Sunsets here are amazing! The living room is open to the kitchen and features 12' wide pine plank wood floors. Rounding out the main floor is an artist-designed half bathroom and adjacent laundry/mud room for ease and convenience. Heading upstairs you will find the peaceful primary bedroom with a stylishly updated bathroom. Three more ample sized bedrooms and another remodeled bathroom complete the upper floor. The outside of this home is just as impressive as the inside! Towering trees, native perennials and privacy abound. Relax by the above ground pool on the deck, watch the chickens free range and tend to your veggies in the established organic raised garden beds. Plenty of room for all your hobbies within the lighted workshop space and pole barn. Take in the country air on the covered front porch while watching the birds and wildlife meander by. This is not just a house, this is a property ready to provide you with a lifestyle meant for taking in and enjoying the good life!
