Welcome home! Check out this extremely well-maintained 2-story in Timberland! Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch before stepping into the welcoming foyer, where you'll immediately notice the durable pre-finished hardwood floors that lead you to the open concept living room (gas fireplace, recessed lighting) and eat-in kitchen, featuring Kenmore stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, pot filler faucet, island/breakfast bar, pantry and dining area that walks out to the deck overlooking your pool & beautiful backyard! The stunning master has a vaulted ceiling and gorgeous bath en suite with jetted tub & walk-in shower (tiled surround), double vanity and 11x6 walk-in closet! A half bath & laundry room (quartz counter, LG washer & dryer stay) round out the main level, while your upstairs boasts four spacious bedrooms (all with walk-in closets), as well as a full guest bath! Your FINISHED daylight basement affords tons of extra space for entertaining, thanks to the large rec room (could serve as a playroom, home gym or theater), sixth bedroom (10x6.5 walk-in closet, egress), utility room for added storage potential and rough-in for an additional bathroom! Host friends for cookouts & kick it poolside this summer in your personal (fenced) backyard retreat with HEATED pool & newer three-tier composite deck with nothing but wooded privacy beyond your property line (so no back neighbors)! The attached 3-car garage has epoxied floors, a Tesla charger and insulated overhead doors! More features include a TerraBloom whole-house booster fan connected to the HVAC, nine-step reverse osmosis water treatment system, a whole house humidifier, water softener, HUGE driveway & so much more! Situated in a great subdivision within Duneland schools, a short drive from the Indiana Dunes National Park and downtown Chesterton (check out the European Market this May) and just minutes from the Toll Road and I-80/94, making your commute to Chicago a breeze!
