Location, convenience, and small-town charm come together in this 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch in the heart of Chesterton! Centrally located in town, this home puts you within easy walking distance of parks, splash pads, the European Market, and the future YMCA Healthy Living Campus. Enjoy having so many of Chesterton's favorite amenities just minutes from your front door! Inside, the functional ranch-style layout offers comfortable single-level living, while the basement provides additional space and plenty of possibilities. An especially valuable feature is the well-maintained whole-house Generac generator, offering added peace of mind and convenience during power outages--an increasingly appealing benefit with the storms our area has experienced. Step outside to a fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for summer gatherings, pets, play, gardening, or simply relaxing at home. Whether you're a first-time buyer, looking to downsize, or searching for a home in a convenient in-town location, this property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy all that Chesterton has to offer, with the added reassurance of whole-house backup power!
