Welcome to our childhood home, where we stay when relaxing in the metro area. You'll be 5 min from the Hard Rock Casino/Concerts, 10 min from the Gary/Chicago Airport, and less than 20 min from the Indiana Dunes Park. Our completely remodeled home is on a quiet street surrounded by woods, where we played as youngsters. Our 3-bedroom residence, with original hardwood floors, has active RING doorbell devices at the front and back doors, side house camera, and Minut (party) sensor for added safety. The space Quiet, comfortable, modern, homey, well-insulated, and relaxing space. For your safety and peace, our home has active RING doorbell devices: one at the front door and one at the back door and side-house camera. While looking out of the large picture windows or sitting on the front porch, don’t be surprised if deer, squirrels, wild turkeys, and an assortment of other birds and frogs visit you or if a neighbor walks or drives by and waves. We also adorned our yard with plants native to the area, which you can see in the Dunes National Park and many parts of Northwest Indiana, including our wonderfully wooded west side Gary neighborhood. Also, BP Whiting Refinery is 15 minutes away. Guest access The basement, with washer and dryer and half bath, and two-car garage with EV charging are also available. Large backyard. Other things to note We know and grew up with our neighbors; therefore, we do NOT allow events or parties. No residents within 30 miles, third party booking, or pets. Prior reviews required for booking. Dedicated workspace - we use the dining room table mostly, but with a TV that swivels from the dining room into the living room with a couch and coffee table, we use that room, too.
