1602 Carriage Drive This charming updated 2 story in Valparaiso's popular Jefferson Park subdivision offers a layout that is built for flexibility. There are 3 distinct gathering areas, including the light filled spacious living room, the more informal family room with its lovely brick FP, and the finished open basement perfect for a media room, home gym, play room, home office, or whatever else would fit your needs. There is a nice sense of continuity with the uniform laminate flooring that flows seamlessly throughout every level and every living space. The eat in kitchen has been updated and has modern appliances. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms, with the primary bedroom having double closets, as well as private access to the common bathroom. Sliders (new) in the family room lead to a nice expansive deck overlooking a very nice size fenced back yard. There is plenty of room for an above ground pool, play set, or gardens. The 2.5 attached garage is 30' deep allowing room for a work bench, a gardening workspace, or just extra storage. This home is walkable to the hugely popular ValPlayso park; as well as offering convenient access to the Highway 49 bypass, and local shopping and restaurants.
