About 5885 Newport Avenue
A DRY BASEMENT WHEN IT MATTERED! During the severe August 11 derecho that blew through Northwest Indiana causing havoc & heartache, this basement STAYED DRY! No trees hit the home either! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch sits on a spacious .32-acre lot. Yes, it needs updating--but buyers looking for a home they can renovate to their own taste will find plenty of potential here. The roof is approximately 3 years old, much of the home's original character remains intact, and the large lot offers room for a future garage, deck, garden and more. Convenient access to the Indiana Toll Road, shopping, schools and parks.
