A charming home built in the late 1800’s, this house holds all the character of wooden floors, barn beams, and modern updates. The large front room has a free standing wood stove, and beautiful wooden floors that carry into the dining room with the window seat. The open kitchen with spacious island is great for entertaining. The laundry room is conveniently located on the main level just off the kitchen. There are two primary en suit bedrooms, one on the main level with a private sitting room attached. The second ensuite bedroom is located upstairs, where there are two more large bedrooms and full bathroom. Situated on just over 1.5 acres, the lush back yard filled with fruit trees and berries, is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the beautiful outdoors while only being minutes away from the historic campus of Notre Dame and great shopping and dining experiences of Granger and downtown South Bend.
Beautiful old house! Built in 1860, it still holds its charm and grace with its many modern updates. Overly generous sized rooms, and lots of storage. Two master suites; one up and one down. Lots of counter space in the huge eat-in kitchen; stainless steel appliances. Laundry conveniently located on the main floor. You'll also enjoy special touches such as decorative wood beam from an old barn, professionally installed wood burning stove, refinished hardwood floors. This historic beauty sits on over 1.5 acres of gorgeous landscaping, fenced yard for privacy. Enjoy peach , pear and apricot trees, black & red raspberries. Great location near shopping and Notre Dame and easy access to the ByPass and Toll Road. Truly a must see!
