Remarks and Miscellaneous
- Public Remarks
- One of the most compelling values in Michiana. This exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Craftsman-style home spans over 5,000 square feet of meticulously designed living space, delivering luxury, comfort, and character at an unbeatable price per square foot. From the moment you step inside, you'll be welcomed by soaring ceilings and radiant heated hardwood and stone floors that add warmth and elegance throughout. The open-concept living room is anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace and flooded with natural light, creating a perfect setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The home's design masterfully blends mid-century modern elements with rustic countryside charm, offering a unique and inviting atmosphere. The newly renovated chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, a spacious walk-in pantry, and an oversized quartz island with designer fixtures—ideal for hosting gatherings or preparing gourmet meals. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include three en-suites, providing privacy and flexibility for guests or family. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat with a spa-inspired bathroom, custom closets, a cozy sitting area, and its own fireplace for added comfort. Additional highlights include a dedicated mudroom, a large laundry area, and ample storage throughout. The exterior is equally impressive, with mature trees and lush, maintenance-free landscaping that create a private, serene setting. Enjoy evenings in the hot tub, roast marshmallows around the fire pit, or relax under the stars in your own backyard oasis. Located just a short bike or golf cart ride from Stop 37 and the beach, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Ask your agent for a full list of upgrades and improvements.
