Located in Valparaiso's desirable Emerald Ridge subdivision, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath two-story home combines classic architectural appeal with an extensive list of modern, high-ticket updates. Stepping inside, the main level introduces a light-filled, open-concept flow featuring new flooring throughout (2021), a formal dining room, and an expansive living space anchored by a cozy fireplace. The heart of the home is the fully renovated kitchen (2021), beautifully appointed with custom cabinetry, sleek countertops, a stylish backsplash, an updated sink, and a new dishwasher (2021). The main level also offers a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office or playroom, alongside a main-floor laundry room equipped with new appliances (2021/2022). Upstairs, fresh carpet (2021) and some updated window treatments span across three spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a private bath. The partially finished basement significantly extends your living options with durable LVP flooring, perfect for a media room, recreation room, or home gym, supported by a battery backup sump pump. Exceptional peace of mind is provided by major infrastructure improvements, including a newer furnace (2019) and roof (2017). Outside, the private backyard offers the perfect retreat with a brand-new composite deck (2024), ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. All of this is just minutes from vibrant downtown Valparaiso, highly rated Valparaiso Community Schools, parks, dining, shopping, and convenient highway access for an easy commute.
