- RARE HISTORIC GEM! Own a meticulously restored piece of Mid-Century architectural history with this iconic Lustron home in Michigan City. Developed post-WWII by Carl Strandlund to solve the housing shortage, fewer than 2,500 of these space-age homes were ever built. Today, they are highly coveted by preservationists for their incredible durability and nostalgic design. True to its original engineering, there is no wood here—the home is constructed entirely of interlocking, porcelain-enameled steel panels. While it retains its authentic 1940s soul, this property has been completely brought back to life with 21st-century mechanical upgrades. Enjoy absolute peace of mind with a brand-new furnace, central air conditioning, water heater, and an updated electrical panel. The interior and exterior feature fresh paint that complements the vintage aesthetic, while the kitchen shines with brand-new stainless steel appliances. Beautiful new landscaping enhances the undeniable curb appeal. Location is everything: you are just a 3-block walk to the Carroll Ave South Shore Line station, offering a seamless, traffic-free commute or day trip directly into downtown Chicago. Perfect as a low-maintenance primary residence, a unique beach getaway near Lake Michigan, or a lucrative investment property—Michigan City allows short-term vacation rentals (STR) at this exact location, making it a guaranteed magnet for design lovers. Don't miss this incredibly rare opportunity to own, preserve, and profit from a living piece of American history. Schedule your showing today!
