Gorgeous, HISTORIC brick beauty in the heart of downtown Valparaiso! This classic charmer (built in 1860) boasts so many MUST-SEE original features throughout (hardwood floors, intricate woodwork in the trim, vintage fixtures)! There were previously two-units (main & upstairs), but with a little TLC, could be restored to its former glory as darling single family residence on one of Valpo's most charming blocks! Presently, there are four (total) generously-sized bedrooms, two kitchens, two full bathrooms and two dining rooms that could serve as home offices, breakfast nooks, etc.. Both levels also feature enclosed porches off the back of the home, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee! There's an attached 2.5-car garage, plus room to build a detached garage off the alley just beyond the home's sprawling backyard. The unfinished basement affords added storage space; boiler heat, updated electrical box, steps from Central Elementary & all that downtown Valpo has to offer!
