Overview

Description

This is the kind of fixer upper that makes the right buyer pause mid-scroll. Set on a rare .85-acre lot in desirable Valparaiso, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers over 2,500 square feet of opportunity in a location that punches above its weight. Yes, it needs work. But for the buyer with vision, this is the sort of property where sweat equity can hit like rocket fuel. Built in 1910, the home has a solid, homey feel with plenty of space to rework, restore, or reimagine. Outside, the massive yard and in-ground pool give you room to breathe, room to play, and room to create something special. The in-ground pool needs attention, but it is not hard to picture it coming back to life as the centerpiece of the backyard. This is not the polished, turnkey option. It is the opportunity play. Big lot, strong location, great bones, and real upside in a part of Valpo where chances like this are getting harder to come by.
