Discover "Tranquility," a truly one-of-a-kind historic residence where timeless craftsmanship, modern sustainability, and exceptional privacy come together just minutes from downtown Valparaiso and Valparaiso University. Nestled 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 flooring, decorative tin ceilings, and solid oak construction showcase the home's remarkable character, while thoughtful updates provide today's desired comforts. Designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining, the home features spacious gathering areas, four bedrooms, multiple full baths, zoned heating and cooling, and a spectacular year-round solarium with wave pool. Outside, mature privacy hedges surround a secluded, park-like setting with inviting patios, decks, a screened gazebo, and winding flagstone walkways--creating an outdoor retreat that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from downtown Valparaiso. The beautifully landscaped grounds provide colorful seasonal interest; while equally impressive are the home's forward-thinking energy features. An energy-saving geothermal heating and cooling system, rooftop solar panels with a transferable NIPSCO buyback agreement that provides income from excess electricity generated, and an EV charging station combine to deliver year-round comfort, lower utility costs, and long-term value. Located between vibrant downtown Valparaiso--with its restaurants, boutiques, parks, festivals, and year-round events--and Valparaiso University's concerts, performances, lectures, and NCAA Division I athletics, this extraordinary property offers a lifestyle as convenient as it is distinctive.
