Property Description
Set across more than five acres of mature landscape and open pasture, this distinctive four-bedroom estate offers a rare blend of history, architectural character, and country living. Just 10 miles from Notre Dame Stadium and less than two hours from Chicago, the property offers a peaceful country setting with convenient access to major destinations. Its striking brick façade, soaring arched windows, and expansive grounds create an immediate sense of timelessness. Inside, the home retains many original details, including doors, classic architectural elements, and a graceful spiral staircase, while thoughtful updates provide modern comfort. The home features a renovated kitchen, granite countertops, farmhouse sink and stainless appliances, opening to the sitting room with a wood-burning fire hearth, blending modern comfort with the home's historic character, as well as updated bathrooms and new dryer. The grounds showcase mature trees, open lawns, pasture, and beautiful flower gardens, creating a picturesque backdrop throughout the seasons. A 16-by-22-foot in-ground pool with stairs and a deep end offers an inviting setting for summer enjoyment while overlooking the surrounding acreage and gardens. A substantial barn equipped with electric lighting, outlets, and water offers exceptional versatility for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or equestrian pursuits, with convenient access to the surrounding pasture. The property also includes a two-car attached garage as well as a detached 1.5-car garage for plenty of storage. The property's history is woven into its architecture and grounds. Near the east-facing porch, the initials "RJW 96" are set into the original brick, believed to represent one of the home's original family members and date to 1896. Beneath a pine tree, Uncle Charlie's rock remains in place—once used as a mounting block for his horse. Rich with history and distinctive architectural character, this remarkable country estate offers a rare sense of authenticity and place—more than five acres with room to enjoy today and continue its story for generations to come. A peaceful country setting with convenient access to the activities of South Bend, less than two hours from Chicago, close to Buchanan, and Niles, the property combines a peaceful country setting with convenient access to nearby destinations. Home conveyed AS-IS.
