With its location and layout, it presents not only as a wonderful single family home but also an excellent investment opportunity as a vacation home or potential short-term rental. The expansive country kitchen is ideal for both everyday living and gathering with family and friends, while the large formal dining room provides an inviting space for entertaining and special occasions. Sliding doors off the kitchen open to a large deck overlooking the expansive backyard, perfect for outdoor gatherings or gardening and an abundance of space for outdoor entertainment. Two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath are conveniently located just off the expansive dining room. Beyond the kitchen, the large living space provides opportunity for relaxing, entertaining, or even creating a home office area. A nearby half bath leads to the impressive, extra-large, primary suite, complete with a private en-suite. Skylights and large windows bathe the home in abundant natural light. A detached tandem 3 car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and more! Additional features include two separate unfinished basements offering exceptional storage potential, dual furnaces and central air units for enhanced efficiency, and separate electrical panels. Ideally located just minutes from Indiana Dunes National Park, Lake Michigan beaches, and the Dune Park South Shore train station, this property offers convenient access to major highways for easy commuting to Chicago or Southwest Michigan. Electric fireplace, washer and dryer do not stay. All measurements are deemed accurate but subject to buyer verification.
