184 W Joliet Rd, Valparaiso, IN 46385

Surrounded by nature, this custom ranch offers enduring quality, seclusion, and space. The private drive leads to a lovely covered porch, welcoming visitors to an impressive foyer with cherry flooring and nine foot ceilings. A flowing floor plan lends itself to relaxation and entertaining, with large rooms and views of the acreage outside. The open kitchen has expansive granite counters, cherry cabinets, and a breakfast bar. Look beyond to the large great room and dining room, then step onto the sunroom and breathe the fresh air - no neighbors making noise, no HOA fees - simply a private patio and sprawling lawn with flowering trees. There are three big bedrooms, including a master with its own spa bath, featuring a bubbler tub and double sinks. Wide stairs lead to a finished English basement, with family room, game room, 3/4 bath, and tons of storage. So much quality here, 5 minutes from Valpo's vibrant downtown and major commuting routes, but a world away from everyday stress.
