Property Description
You have got to see this house! Exceptionally well-maintained and truly move-in ready, this charming ranch on a beautifully landscaped corner lot offers the perfect combination of thoughtful updates, comfortable living, and an outstanding Munster location. Pride of ownership is evident throughout with major improvements already completed, including new windows, roof, furnace and central air (2019), remodeled bathrooms, exterior doors, attic insulation, front and rear walkways, a whole-house Generac generator, and a new privacy fence. The traditional floor plan features three bedrooms and 1.75 baths, with one bedroom currently opened to the living room to create a stylish entertaining space akin to a speakeasy. The original hallway door remains in place, making it simple to restore the room to a private third bedroom with the addition of one wall. The finished basement offers even more living space with a large recreation room, a separate finished flex room currently used as a sleeping area, and a dedicated laundry room. The detached garage includes 220-volt electric service and a new garage door opener. Outside, enjoy a private backyard oasis featuring mature landscaping, perennial gardens, fruit trees, and a covered patio attached to the garage--an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. Conveniently located near parks, shopping, restaurants, top-rated schools, major expressways, and the South Shore commuter rail, this meticulously maintained home is ready for you. Simply move in, unpack, and enjoy!
