Embrace the tranquility of this one-of-a-kind custom home nestled in the nature preserve community of St Andre. A gated community, known as the "country village", you are surrounded by nature, while located only 4 minutes from downtown Valparaiso. This home has it all. The long meandering driveway steers you to this spectacularly designed home where you enter via a grand entrance made from native Indiana river rock. With over 70 high efficiency Pella brand windows, the home was designed to bring the outdoors in. Enjoy magnificent views from every room of the lush two-acre property which is immediately surrounded by over 30 acres of nature preserve! Once inside, you are welcomed into open concept living featuring, a dining area, large great room with passthrough fireplace, and gourmet kitchen featuring hickory cabinets and Bosch appliances. Step through the French doors to a full covered outdoor kitchen, with commercial Bull Grill and stove situated perfectly next to a 40 ft stream and pond feature. Back inside, just off the main living area is an entertainment nook with full bar which leads out to the front covered porch with outdoor fireplace and tranquil views to the front of the property. Two bedrooms with wrap around windows, a full bath with double sinks and a butler's pantry/laundry area with views of the pond completes the first floor. A solid maple "floating staircase" takes you to the upper level which, along the way, presents a "tower of windows" offering panoramic views of the nature preserve. The second level offers a vintage tiered theater room, large loft area, a spacious master bedroom with stone fireplace, and cozy screened in porch. The master bath provides symmetrical his and her vanity/sink stations separated by a free-standing bathtub and heated floors.
