Discover "Tranquility," a one-of-a-kind historic residence where timeless character, modern sustainability, and exceptional privacy come together just minutes from downtown Valparaiso and Valparaiso University. Set on two beautifully landscaped city lots, this late-19th-century home has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated to offer approximately 3,800 finished square feet across four levels. Original woodwork, hardwood and parquet floors, decorative tin ceilings, and solid oak construction reflect its remarkable heritage, while spacious rooms offer wonderful opportunities to personalize the interiors with today's colors and finishes. Select virtually updated photos illustrate how easily several spaces can transition to a fresh, neutral aesthetic. The home features four bedrooms, multiple full baths, generous gathering spaces, a private third-floor suite with skylights and zoned heating and cooling, and an extraordinary year-round solarium with wave pool. A main-level den offers additional flexibility and potential for conversion to a main-floor bedroom. Outside, mature privacy hedges surround a secluded, park-like setting with patios, decks, a screened gazebo, and winding flagstone walkways. Beautifully established landscaping provides colorful seasonal interest and can be maintained by the landscape service of your choice. Energy-saving features distinguish this home, including geothermal heating and cooling, rooftop solar panels with a transferable NIPSCO agreement for energy generated, and an EV charging station. Enjoy exceptional privacy while remaining close to downtown Valparaiso's dining, shopping, parks, and events and Valparaiso University's cultural and sporting activities. Historic character, sustainable technology, and the opportunity to make the interiors distinctly your own--all in an extraordinary in-town setting.
