Welcome to your peaceful escape in Miller Beach, where your backyard meets the serene Indiana Dunes National Park, providing privacy & a direct connection in nature. Stepping into this quaint Cape Cod, you are immediately invited to enjoy the spectacle of nature through the oversized picture window, it's just one of the home's absorbing backdrops. Tucked on a quiet street about a mile from the new South Shore Miller Train Station - with express service to Chicago Millennium Park in just 45 minutes - and a short walk to beaches, parks, trailhead, and downtown Miller shops & restaurants.Inside the home, new windows provide an abundance of natural light and cross-breeze, helping to keep summer cooling costs low.Recent updates include a refreshed kitchen and bathroom, new roof decking and shingles, vinyl siding, electrical panel, water heater & whole house humidifier. The dry basement offers an additional 850 sq ft of space for you to design -- currently a workshop, home gym, laundry room, cold storage pantry and more. It's bright & cheerful with an epoxy-painted floor, plenty of light & power, plus a 2nd shower. Outside, more upgrades further differentiate this home: a new concrete driveway, a privacy fence with dog pen, and extensive landscaping. Perhaps the jewel of the home is the lush backyard escape, thoughtfully designed around a new 532 sq ft tri-level deck with 11' x 11' mounted umbrella, privacy screen, built in seating and herb garden, with plenty of hammock hooks to provide ultimate relaxation to you and your guests.Whether you're a hiker, cyclist, beach-goer, bird watcher, or someone who simply thrives in a natural setting, this home is a tranquil retreat with the convenience of city access. Owner open to selling many furnishings - Perfect as a rental, summer retreat, or weekend getaway.
