Nestled on a private, wooded 4.5-acre lot in Chesterton's Jackson Township within the Duneland School District, this captivating multi-level home blends distinctive mid-century character with more than 4,300 square feet of versatile living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows, clean architectural lines, serene wooded and open views, and a year-round flowing creek create a peaceful setting that feels timeless and connected to nature. The main level offers a sunlit living room anchored by a dramatic Wisconsin Cascade stone fireplace, a formal dining room with updated lighting, and a fully equipped kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, and a reverse osmosis water system. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and two full baths--including a hall bath with radiant heated floors--plus a flexible office/flex space adjoined to the primary suite that can easily serve as a nursery, private sitting room, or expansive second walk-in closet. The main and lower levels provide additional living and entertaining space, featuring a fourth bedroom, half bath, family room with a second stone fireplace, and a spacious recreation room. Multiple bedrooms open to three private decks, while a screened porch overlooks the scenic grounds. A dedicated heated and cooled workshop with a private exterior entrance adds even more functionality. Recent improvements include a newer well pressure tank, Presby septic system, radon mitigation system, roof on the detached garage, kitchen reverse osmosis system, and an owned water softener. Outside, the property is a true retreat with parklike grounds, five garage bays, raised garden beds, fruit-bearing apple trees, mature woods, and picturesque outdoor spaces. All of this is located just minutes from downtown Chesterton, Indiana Dunes National Park, nearby beaches, and the South Shore Line with convenient access to Chicago.
