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.
