Nestled in Valparaiso’s Historic District just three blocks from downtown, this distinguished Neo-Colonial Revival residence offers a rare blend of timeless charm & modern comfort. Spanning four finished levels, the home has been meticulously restored to preserve original architectural elements like hardwood floors, tall bay windows, and three decorative fireplaces, while adding contemporary upgrades including multi-zone HVAC for year-round comfort. The main level flows seamlessly from the formal living room to a bright front parlor (perfect for a home office or reading nook) and into an elegant formal dining room. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen featuring granite countertops, travertine tile, and top-tier Viking appliances. An adjoining casual dining space keeps the atmosphere relaxed and connected. On the second floor you will find five generously sized bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, as well as a laundry room. The 3rd floor contains 2 more large bedrooms, walk -in closet, and a shared full bath. Thoughtful storage abounds throughout the home, including a large attic and built-ins. The finished daylight basement offers even more versatility with a studio suite – complete with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath – ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or creative space. The basement is complete with an expansive 2nd laundry and utility room. Step outside to a charming screened-in porch with a distinctive barrel-vaulted ceiling, a fenced yard perfect for gardening or play, and an attached two-car garage – a rare downtown convenience. 301 Washington Street is more than an address; it’s an opportunity to own a piece of Valparaiso’s history without compromising on comfort or style.
