Overview

Description

What if your evening walk ended at the beach? At 8231 Hickory Ave, it can. Just about a 15-minute walk from the shoreline, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath tri-level gives you something you can't renovate into a home — LOCATION. Inside, cathedral ceilings bring character to the main living space, while the lower-level family room gives you room to spread out, relax, or create a space of your own. Step outside and you're surrounded by the natural beauty that makes this area so special. Add an attached garage, whole-house generator and newer roof, and you've got a home with both personality and practicality. Whether you're grabbing your morning coffee and heading toward the lake, hitting the nearby trails, or simply enjoying home, this is Northwest Indiana living with the beach practically in your neighborhood.
