About 1808 Washington Street
This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath modern farmhouse seamlessly blends the timeless charm of 1900s craftsmanship with thoughtful contemporary upgrades. Positioned on a corner lot with easy access to downtown Valparaiso, schools, and parks, the home offers both convenience and character in a highly desirable location. Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a bright, inviting living room featuring 9-foot ceilings, fresh paint, new lighting, built-in storage, and an electric fireplace. Just off the living area, a flexible bonus room provides the perfect space for a home office, playroom, or additional living area tailored to your lifestyle. The dining room highlights the home's history with its original 1900s built-in butler's pantry, which connects seamlessly to the fully remodeled kitchen (2023). Designed for both style and function, the kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances, flooring, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Completing the main level is a renovated laundry room with a new washer and dryer (2025) and a redesigned full bath (2025). Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms feature new carpet (2022), while an additional fully remodeled bathroom (2025) serves the upper level. The primary suite overlooks the front yard and includes a walk-in closet, and large windows throughout the home fill every room with natural light. An unfinished basement provides ample storage for seasonal items. Outdoor living is equally inviting with three porches, a back patio with fire pit and privacy fence (2023), and a beautifully landscaped yard perfect for gatherings or quiet relaxation. Additional updates include renovated exterior doors/shutters (2023), a resurfaced asphalt driveway (2024), a two-car garage with built-in shelving and loft storage, and a whole-home water filtration and reverse osmosis system (2024). Blending original character with thoughtful modern updates, don't miss the chance to make this home your own!
