Stunning two-story brick residence perched on a scenic hill with a private drive beginning at the front of a quiet cul-de-sac is a rare find in the desirable Bridlewood subdivision on 3.27 wooded acres. This secluded retreat offers timeless craftsmanship, privacy, and space--just minutes from downtown Valparaiso, award-winning schools, and easy access to Chicago. A flagstone walkway and wraparound covered porch welcome you into a home that's both elegant and warm. Inside, you'll find solid oak floors, oak trim, 6-panel oak doors, triple crown molding, soaring 9+ foot ceilings, and four fireplaces throughout. The grand two-story foyer opens to a formal dining room and den/library, while several first-floor rooms feature beautiful French doors. With 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, there's room for everyone. A main-floor bedroom (currently a game room) offers direct access to the covered back deck. The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen and family room featuring cherry cabinetry, corian countertops, a center island, pantry cabinet, and cozy breakfast nook. The vaulted family room impresses with custom oak beams, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and direct outdoor access. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers 12-foot ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, and a private office/sitting area. The ensuite bath includes double vanities, whirlpool tub, and custom walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms feature private bathrooms and walk-in closets. A bonus room over the 3-car garage, second-floor laundry, and a unique three-staircase layout add both convenience and versatility.
