Remarks and Miscellaneous

Public Remarks: BETTER-THAN-NEW, recently-constructed 2-story ON THE POND in Valpo's beautiful Iron Gate subdivision! That's right, no back neighbors... just a pond to fish in! Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch before stepping into the welcoming foyer, where you'll immediately notice durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring & plenty of natural daylight flowing throughout. There's a cute office to the left as you make your way to the open-concept living room & adjoining kitchen, featuring all stainless steel appliances, 42" stained kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops, a pantry, island/breakfast bar and an adjacent dining area walks out to the patio/backyard! A half bath, mudroom (off attached 2-car garage with workshop) & laundry room (Maytag washer + dryer stay) round out the main level, while the upstairs boasts four spacious bedrooms (including the master with 10 x 8.5 walk-in closet and bath en suite with double vanity), a full guest bath and lofted flex room that could serve as a playroom, study or den! The full basement affords tons of additional storage space but begs to be finished, as it's insulated and roughed-in for a fourth bathroom! You'll love hosting friends for cookouts in your private backyard retreat on the pond this summer, and you're just across the street from the neighborhood walking trail! LOW taxes in a great location walking-distance from the community park/playground & within Valparaiso schools (Cooks Corners Elementary), just minutes from the wonderful dining and shopping downtown Valpo has to offer!
