Sitting on a small hill just south of South Bend city limits, this custom built property combines easily accessible urban amenities with the tranquility of country living. The home is in the middle of the two acres with a grassy lawn in the front and a partially wooded rear acre with walking trails and fruit trees. Custom built from the old foundation up in 2001, this home was designed to bring the outside in. The vaulted main living space is an open concept gathering tons of natural light while the steel beam construction allows for unobstructed spans across the living and dining areas. This modern design also offers a main level primary suite, complete with freestanding tub and soapstone counters. The upstairs offers a small loft as well as the two additional bedrooms and full bath. The living space opens immediately onto the back deck and out to the rear acreage making entertaining a breeze. The oversized detached garage also includes a workshop area and extra room for storage. Built by a general contractor and his wife as their forever home, you'll find quite a few upgrades not often found in newer construction such as hardiboard siding, real hardwood flooring on the main floor, pella windows, and stone counters. This property offers a great opportunity for those looking for a newer style home without the subdivision and HOA. Schedule your showing today and see if this home can work for you!
