- Motivated Seller, put in offer for negotiation: This isn't the same property you saw before, and that's exactly the point. Situated on 3.23 private acres in desirable Dyer and located within the highly sought-after Lake Central School District, this impressive 6,223-square-foot estate was temporarily taken off the market to complete substantial improvements based on buyer and broker feedback. The result is a home that shows better than ever and offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and modern updates. Recent improvements include a brand-new structural concrete driveway, resealed driveways, refreshed landscaping with new sod, roses, evergreens, and seasonal plantings, a professionally waterproofed basement with a transferable 10-year warranty, new Pergo flooring, an upgraded well system with a 5-year warranty, serviced Andersen windows, refreshed bathrooms, an epoxy-coated garage floor, a new tone central cleaning system in the garage, and a fully updated pole barn exterior with new walkways and landscaping. The centerpiece of the home is an incredible 1,728 sq. ft. great room featuring soaring ceilings, four fireplaces, a wet bar, and picturesque pond views. The open-concept kitchen showcases new stone countertops, a custom island, and a coffee bar. Additional features include 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a formal dining room, sunroom, sauna, and a 1,134 sq. ft. pole barn. Enjoy the privacy of acreage, tranquil pond views, no HOA, and a location just minutes from shopping, dining, and major highways. Extensively improved, meticulously maintained, and packed with recent upgrades, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Northwest Indiana's most unique and impressive estates. Come see the transformation for yourself, you won't believe it's the same home!
