Property Description
Step into a home that feels like a story unfolding. This early 20th-century charmer blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates across 4 bedrooms, 2 baths & 3,000 finished square feet. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the warmth, craftsmanship & sense that this home has been deeply loved. Arched windows pour natural light into gracious living spaces, while custom one-of-a-kind built-ins add both beauty & function. The main level flows effortlessly from a cozy living room with fireplace into a formal dining room made for long dinners & meaningful gatherings. A brand-new kitchen anchors the home with stainless steel appliances, abundant storage & a layout that supports everyday living. Just off the main living spaces, a sunroom offers a quiet retreat, perfect for morning coffee, reading or watching the seasons shift. It connects beautifully to a dedicated office, creating a natural rhythm between work & rest. A large main-floor primary bedroom & newly renovated bath make everyday living easy. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms & generous storage continue the home's inviting cadence. The finished basement opens a world of possibility, styled as a studio space with a private exterior entrance, new 3/4 bath & laundry. Currently set up and approved for short term rental use, it is a great option for extra income to offset living expenses, or just for more space! Outside, a low-maintenance picket-fenced yard offers charm without the burden, while a detached 1.5-car garage adds convenience & character. And the location is hard to beat. Downtown Valparaiso is just steps away with coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, the ChicaGO Dash & vibrant community life. Enjoy concerts at the amphitheater, shop local, meet friends for dinner or commute with ease, only 10 miles to the South Shore Train & about an hour into Chicago. 453 Chestnut isn't just a house, it's a lifestyle where historic charm meets modern comfort & everyday life feels a little more special.
