Property Description
Get rid of the lawnmower and the shovel! Mowing and shoveling is now in your past. Fantastic location just a couple blocks from Valpo High School and right in the middle of town yet near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Open concept 3 bedroom home with plenty of room to entertain friends and family. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by soaring ceilings in the living room which opens nicely to the formal dining area. The eat-in kitchen provides ample counter and cabinet space and includes all appliances. Just off the kitchen is a charming family room with views of the gorgeous backyard. Head upstairs for 3 bedrooms plus a surprise bonus room ideal for a reading nook, gaming area or extra storage if needed. The yard is teeming with various fruit trees including cherry, blue plum, peach, Jonathan apple, and pear. Enjoy it all outside while sitting on the huge deck overlooking the yard that you don't have to mow. If you're a runner or bicyclist, you will enjoy the miles of sidewalks and trails accessible right from your front yard. Don't miss out on this wonderful home!
