Remember when summer evenings lasted forever?

When the front porch wasn’t an architectural add-on, but a place to trade stories with the neighbors? Where sidewalk-lined streets echoed with the excited shouts of local kids? And where the distant chime of the ice cream truck sent them scrambling for mom or dad’s loose change?

Some neighborhoods simply never lost that magic—and this newly listed Hobart home feels like stepping straight back into the warmth of that golden era.

✨ JUST LISTED in Hobart! ✨

3 Beds | 1 Bath | Full Basement | Cottage-Style Detached Garage

Behind the picture-perfect curb appeal sits a home loved and maintained to absolute perfection:

* Curated, modern updates that honor mid-century character—including a refreshed, stylish kitchen, hardwood floors throughout, and updated bath.

* Flexible living spaces: One of the three bedrooms currently serves as an ultra-convenient main-floor laundry suite (easily transitioned back to a bedroom, den, or nursery!).

* Your new favorite room: A cozy three-season sunroom overlooking a lush, newly fenced backyard made for weekend barbecues and quiet morning coffee.

* Full basement with plenty of room for storage, a workshop, rec room, or whatever your lifestyle demands.

* Charming cottage garage featuring a dedicated pedestrian side entrance.

Grab brunch at Maple & Yolk. Stroll down to Festival Park for summer concerts. Enjoy dinner at Bon Vie overlooking Lake George.

It’s rare to find a home that pairs this level of meticulous care with the genuine, heart-warming spirit of a simpler time.

The lake is warm, the light is flattering, and the late summer edition of INSIGHTS has arrived.

INSIGHTS is my seasonal e-zine created for those who live, love, and dream about life along the Lake Michigan shoreline. It blends market perspective, coastal lifestyle, and behind-the-scenes strategy you won’t find on standard search apps.

In this issue, we dive into:

» Why some shoreline homes never make it to the search bar
» What a genuine listing strategy looks like beyond the price tag
» Getting your home truly "camera ready" through a producer’s lens
» A profile of a multi-generational family compound at the edge of the Valparaiso Moraine
» Why it’s never too early to start planning your next move

Whether you’re laying the quiet groundwork for a future move or simply savoring the dog days of summer, INSIGHTS is a great place to spend a few quiet moments.

Open House Saturday, 1 to 3 pm
2505 Inverness Drive, Country Club Estates, Valparaiso

The original owners are offering this gorgeous custom five-bedroom home for the first time, and the care shows. Soaring ceilings and an open floor plan set the tone from the entry. A private office with French doors shares a two-sided fireplace with the great room, and across the foyer, the formal dining room currently serves as a reading lounge, though it converts back easily for entertaining. The kitchen has been renovated with new countertops, a tiled backsplash, and abundant cabinetry, and the bayed dining area includes an extended serving station that works well as a coffee bar or buffet.

The main-floor primary suite has an updated ensuite bath and a spacious walk-in closet, and the mudroom and laundry room combine custom built-ins with garage access. Upstairs, four bedrooms are split between a Jack-and-Jill bath and a separate hall bath. The finished basement adds a recreation and media area, a wet bar with Dekton countertops, a three-quarter bath, a fitness room, and a workshop with a double utility sink.

The three-car garage runs 31.5 by 31.6 feet with 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot doors, and connects directly to both the main-level and basement mudrooms. No HOA. North side of Valparaiso, minutes from the Valparaiso Country Club, YMCA, shopping, dining, and Highway 49.

If you can't make it Saturday — see the link in the comments for all the details. Then, give me a call to schedule a private showing.
