Description

RARE HISTORIC GEM! Own a meticulously restored piece of Mid-Century architectural history with this iconic Lustron home in Michigan City. Developed post-WWII by Carl Strandlund to solve the housing shortage, fewer than 2, 500 of these space-age homes were ever built. Today, they are highly coveted by preservationists for their incredible durability and nostalgic design. True to its original engineering, there is no wood here--the home is constructed entirely of interlocking, porcelain-enameled steel panels. While it retains its authentic 1940s soul, this property has been completely brought back to life with 21st-century mechanical upgrades. Enjoy absolute peace of mind with a brand-new furnace, central air conditioning, water heater, and an updated electrical panel. The interior and exterior feature fresh paint that complements the vintage aesthetic, while the kitchen shines with brand-new stainless steel appliances. Beautiful new landscaping enhances the undeniable curb appeal. Location is everything: you are just a 3-block walk to the Carroll Ave South Shore Line station, offering a seamless, traffic-free commute or day trip directly into downtown Chicago. Perfect as a low-maintenance primary residence, a unique beach getaway near Lake Michigan, or a lucrative investment property--Michigan City allows short-term vacation rentals (STR) at this exact location, making it a guaranteed magnet for design lovers. Don't miss this incredibly rare opportunity to own, preserve, and profit from a living piece of American history. Schedule your showing today!
