This open-concept home is situated on a double lot in a well-established neighborhood in downtown Chesterton. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the future YMCA campus, five city parks, downtown shops, and restaurants. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering ample living space. Currently, the seller utilizes the finished room and bathroom in the basement as their primary ensuite, which can serve multiple purposes. The partially completed basement awaits your customization. The property has undergone several major updates: a new kitchen in 2020, a new roof in 2021, new gutters in 2022, a new front porch in 2023, an updated downstairs bath and room in 2023, a new back porch in 2024, and a new main floor bathtub in 2025.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
