This… is what happens when “just a house” is simply not acceptable. In a market full of options, this is the one everyone remembers. Welcome to Hawthorne in Valparaiso–where expectations are higher, details are sharper, and over 4,200 finished square feet deliver a home that understands exactly what it is. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, all above ground living where it matters–because anything less would be… disappointing. The living room makes an entrance. Cathedral ceilings. Exposed beams. A gas fireplace that doesn’t try–it knows. And the primary suite? The walk-in closet is not generous–it’s Miranda Priestly-level. Fully built-out organizers, paired with a spa-worthy ensuite and whirlpool soaking tub that feels less like a feature and more like a requirement. Downstairs, the finished basement is where the narrative shifts. A full bar. A projector screen. A space designed for hosting, unwinding, and–let’s be honest–impressing. On the main level, a bedroom with a zero-threshold shower and wide entry offers flexibility that’s as smart as it is seamless–perfect for guests, related living, or a home office that actually works. And the details? Of course they’re here. Whole-home Sonos sound. A heated, epoxy-coated 3-car tandem garage with built-in storage–because clutter is not part of the vision. Outside, the tone doesn’t relax–it refines. Heated inground pool. Inground whirlpool. Composite deck. Pergola. Retractable awning. Professionally designed, multi-level landscaping that feels intentional at every turn. Positioned near everything–shopping, dining, State Road 49, 15 minutes from the South Shore Commuter Line, and 60 minutes from The Loop. All appliances included. The Seller is accepting conventional, FHA, and VA mortgages, and will consider contingent on sale offers. Because in a world full of ordinary homes… this one simply isn’t interested.
