A rare opportunity to own a historic homesite and picturesque property minutes from downtown Valparaiso. From the moment you travel up the wooded driveway along side a meandering creek and pull up to the charming barn and scenic vista, you will be transported to a tranquil state of being. The original home, built in 1870 and added on in subsequent years, requires updates but offers main floor living room with fireplace and arched doorways, dining room with built-in cabinet, spacious kitchen and breakfast room overlooking wooded yard, master bedroom with ensuite, second bedroom, hall bath, and enclosed porch. Two additional bedrooms are found on second floor. This is an ideal spot to build your estate. Please note this is sold in an estate and is sold "as-is".
