About this home
Love the Location. Cherish the History. Here is one of Valpo's Oldest Homes, a rare historic gem downtown. Step back in time at 254 Park Avenue, literally where Valparaiso began. Built in 1860, this classic residence is one of the oldest homes in the city and has had only six owners in its entire 165-year history. For the past 25 years it has been lovingly cared for by the current owner -- it's a true piece of Valpo heritage that rarely comes on the market. Featuring original hardwood flooring & beautiful crown molding, this 1,486-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms & timeless 19th-century character with a detached garage. Located just 2 blocks from Ben Franklin Middle School and the proposed Valpo REC (Recreation and Enrichment Campus), and 6 blocks from Central Park Plaza, shops, restaurants, and the new Grand Gardner Hotel, adding even more vibrancy and convenience to this historic neighborhood. Whether you're looking for a home rich in history or an incredible opportunity to personalize a true Valparaiso landmark, 254 Park Avenue is a once-in-a-generation chance. Homes with this level of provenance and low ownership turnover simply do not come along often. Don't miss your opportunity to own a piece of Valparaiso's founding story. Schedule your private tour today -- this historic treasure will not last long....
