845201 MLS ⋅ Lisa Gaff
Imagine mornings with a short walk to the park down the street, and a commute that never feels like a grind. That's life on Putman Place. Tucked inside the Village in Burns Harbor, these homesites sit in one of Northwest Indiana's most talked-about new-build communities. Families here get the small-town rhythm of Duneland living: Friday night football, the Chesterton European Market on Saturdays, and Lake Michigan beaches close enough for a weeknight sunset walk. And when it's time to head out -- for work, for the city, for the airport -- you're already close. Four major highways (I-94, US 12, US 20, and SR 149) run through Burns Harbor, and the I-80/90 Toll Road is less than two miles away. Chicago is about 40 minutes by car, or hop the South Shore Line for a car-free commute downtown. Zoned for Duneland Schools. Steps from Indiana Dunes National Park. Minutes from everything. This is where "close to the city" and "close to the lake" finally mean the same address. Bring your builder or ask about our on-site builder with available plans starting in the 350,000's.
