Offered for sale for the very first time by its original owners, this custom 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home in desirable Country Club Estates reflects years of exceptional care and quality updates. On Valparaiso's north side, you're just minutes from the Valparaiso Country Club, YMCA, shopping, dining, and Highway 49 for an easy commute. This established neighborhood has no HOA, an added bonus. Exceptional curb appeal complements a thoughtfully designed floor plan with soaring ceilings, natural light, and open-concept living. French doors open to a private office with a two-sided fireplace shared with the great room. Across the foyer, the formal dining room is currently enjoyed as a cozy reading/media lounge but easily converts back for entertaining. The great room flows into the renovated kitchen, the heart of the home, with countertops and backsplash, abundant cabinetry, stainless appliances, and ample prep space. The bayed dining area includes an extended serving station perfect for a coffee bar or buffet. The main-floor primary suite features a beautifully updated ensuite bath and a spacious walk-in closet. A powder room, combination mudroom/laundry room with custom built-ins, utility sink, and garage access completes the main level. Upstairs offers two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath and two bedrooms served by a separate full hall bath. Whether hosting game day, holiday gatherings, or movie nights, the finished basement offers an expansive recreation and media area, a well-appointed wet bar with Dekton countertops, 3/4 bath with tiled walk-in shower, dedicated fitness room, and an unfinished workshop/storage area with a double utility sink. The oversized 31.5' x 31.6' three-car garage features 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, utility sink with hot and cold water, gas and electric for a future heater, and direct access to both the main-level and basement mudrooms, providing convenient drop zones. This home has it all! See
