Set on 1.16 acres with 274 acres of woods and nature as your backdrop, this property delivers the kind of peaceful, private setting that is hard to find--and even harder to leave. Inside, the main level welcomes you with hardwood flooring and a dramatic great room featuring cathedral ceilings, a fireplace with windows flanking both sides, and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering a large island, beautiful cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a glass tile backsplash, and an eat-in area set within a bay of windows that captures the views, along with direct access to the deck, perfect for everyday living and easy entertaining. The main floor primary suite is a true retreat with an updated ensuite bath showcasing a clawfoot tub, tiled walk-in shower, double sinks, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Upstairs, you'll find a flexible second living space ideal for a 4th BR, media room or additional family room, along with two bedrooms, one featuring a bonus room that could easily serve as a third upper-level bedroom, plus a full bath with double sinks. The finished walkout basement expands your living space even further with a large rec room, media area, wet bar, and a dedicated space for hobbies, crafts, or play. Walk right out to the backyard and take in the sweeping, panoramic views. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a two-level deck designed to capture the incredible scenery and create the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone needing extra space will appreciate the 2.5-car garage plus an additional one-car bay ideal for a workshop, storage, or easy backyard access. A rare combination of space, privacy, and versatility--all in a setting that truly feels like an escape. 5 Star Valparaiso Schools. Bus pick-up in front of home.
