What's special

Full basementBrick exteriorAttached garageTimeless low-maintenance curb appeal

This 3-bedroom brick and vinyl ranch is the kind of home that just feels right the second you walk in. Solid, well-kept, and full of character, it's ready for its next chapter. You'll love the full basement, plenty of room for a rec area, home gym, storage, or whatever fits your life right now. The attached garage is a nice bonus too, especially once winter rolls around. Forced air heat and central air keep things comfortable year-round, and the brick exterior gives it that timeless, low-maintenance curb appeal. One more thing worth mentioning, the property taxes are low, the kind of low that's genuinely hard to find these days. That's real, lasting savings for whoever calls this place home. Please note, this home is being sold as is. If you've been looking for something solid, affordable, and move-in ready in a great Merrillville location, this one's worth a look.
