Welcome to 1001 Institute Street -- a well-located Valparaiso home offering the perfect balance of close proximity to downtown convenience and a quieter residential setting just outside the heart of the action. Enjoy the ability to stroll to shops, restaurants, parks, and events while still coming home to a more relaxed neighborhood atmosphere. At first glance, the home lives like a ranch, with just a few steps from the front entry leading to the main level where three spacious bedrooms and comfortable living areas provide an easy, functional layout. But the real surprise awaits toward the back of the home, where a secondary staircase opens to an expansive lower level that feels like an entirely separate living environment. This level includes an additional bedroom, a full bathroom, and a generous open space thoughtfully divided to create two distinct living areas, offering incredible flexibility for a variety of lifestyle needs. Outside, the property continues to impress with a deep backyard rarely found in town, enhanced by a privacy fence along the rear for a peaceful outdoor setting. A detached two-car garage adds convenience and storage. A unique layout, versatile living spaces, and a location that puts downtown Valparaiso within easy reach make this home a standout opportunity.
