Timeless farmhouse charm meets modern comfort in this 1900 farmhouse on 2.33 acres!. This home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, showcasing vintage details throughout, including hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, and an inviting wraparound porch and rear deck. Inside, the home blends warmth and character with everyday functionality. Recent improvements, including a new roof and new central air, along with a seller provided home warranty give added peace of mind. Outdoors, the property is ready for gatherings, gardening and other hobbies featuring a former spring house (currently a "man cave" with tv, work bench and wood stove), chicken coop, 2-car garage, and, perhaps best of all, a 4,000 sq. foot renovated barn that offers an enormous entertainment space and play area. A wonderful rural home, it offers convenient access to I-80/94/90, I-65, and Route 30 for commuters traveling in any direction. Within ten miles are Lake Michigan beaches, an IMAX theater, and some of the best restaurants in Northwest Indiana. Take in the charm of a classic farmhouse setting.
