This is truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime properties. They say it's all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION, and this secluded 5.5 acre estate checks every box. A beautiful winding driveway leads to the most charming, timeless Cape Cod-style home, impeccably maintained by the same family through multiple generations. A circular drive welcomes you to an adorable four-season breezeway that seamlessly connects the 4-car garage to the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. Expansive windows in both the living room and breezeway capture nearly panoramic views of this breathtaking setting. Deer, foxes, birds, and butterflies are frequent visitors, creating the peaceful lifestyle you've been dreaming of. A charming covered front porch opens to a spacious, classic foyer flowing into the inviting living room and eat-in kitchen. Beautiful hardwood flooring extends throughout, while the kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances that remain with the home, and picturesque backyard views. The main-floor primary bedroom is a wonderful retreat, and the private laundry room features direct garage access with a convenient lift for those who prefer to avoid stairs. The four-season backyard gazebo truly completes this dream property, featuring oversized windows, a cozy fireplace, beverage cooler, television, and the perfect setting for year-round entertaining. And speaking of entertaining, it's hard to imagine finding another property in this price range that offers so much. Enjoy a custom Unilock paver patio, an inviting fire pit, and an abundance of parking for family and guests. Whole house generator and competitive Indiana taxes. With 5 private acres, the convenience of city water and sewer, and a setting that rarely becomes available, this is truly the definition of finding the needle in a haystack.
