354 E 1300 N, Chesterton, IN 46304
What's special
Tucked away in Chesterton is a unique property where natural beauty, history, and opportunity come together! Spanning 11.52 acres across two separate parcels, this property features expansive open lawns, mature trees, wooded acreage, and the Calumet River winding through the back landscape. The first parcel consists of 2.35 acres and features a 4-bedroom, 1.75-bath bi-level home built in 1977. Inside, the spacious family room is highlighted by an impressive brick wood-burning fireplace with a wood stove insert and original wood accents. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, while the attached two-car garage provides convenience and additional storage. A backyard deck overlooks the expansive lawn framed by mature trees. The home remains largely in its original condition, offering the opportunity to update and make it your own. The second parcel consists of 9.17 acres and holds a unique piece of Chesterton history. Nestled among the trees is a 1,004-square-foot historic cottage featuring rustic wood interiors, exposed ceiling beams, and 2 fireplaces. Beyond the cottage, wooded acreage surrounds the Calumet River as it winds through the property, creating a beautiful natural setting. The cottage is in need of restoration, offering an opportunity for someone who appreciates its history and original character. From the open green spaces to the secluded wooded surroundings and historic cottage, this property offers something truly different. A rare opportunity to own 11.52 acres with a 2,244 sqft home and a 1,000 sqft 1900's cottage with a story waiting for its next chapter. There is an in-ground pool in between the house and the cottage, with a privacy fence around it. Condition unknown. Property and structures are being sold AS IS.
