Property Description
A rare opportunity in Valparaiso's historic downtown neighborhood, where architectural integrity, exceptional craftsmanship and a walkable lifestyle come together. Built in 1940 by highly regarded Foster Lumber, this distinctive brick home has been thoughtfully updated by an architect with a passion for preserving its original character while incorporating the finest materials and modern conveniences. Original details include select straight-grain oak hardwood floors, ash wood paneling inspired by a late-1790s North Carolina home, period-appropriate brass hardware and back-to-back wood-burning fireplaces accented with imported English and Dutch ceramic tile. The remarkable kitchen features terra-cotta brick flooring with Tunisian stone insets, custom cabinetry coordinating with a mahogany hutch, walk-in pantry, Wolf commercial gas range and microwave, and Sub-Zero refrigeration. Four bedrooms each offer an ensuite bath; the primary bath is beautifully appointed with Carrara marble, Dornbracht fixtures, Kohler Birthday tub and skylight. A 20x20 bedroom offers flexibility for a studio, gym or office, while a dedicated office opens to a second-story deck. Enjoy a window-lined sunroom/dining room, solarium with heated floor and skylight, finished basement with family room and custom wine cellar, breezeway, patio and attached 2-car garage. New roof and skylights, EV charger, sprinkler, water filtration and security systems add modern convenience. Best of all, downtown is just 5 blocks away-walk to Central Park, restaurants, coffee shops, markets, live music and entertainment. A home where history has not simply been preserved, but thoughtfully carried forward.
