Single Family Residence in South Bend, IN

This one-of-a-kind 1884 Studebaker-built property offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern versatility. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property has served as both a residence, a business, and Airbnb. Its layout is ideal for professional offices, bed and breakfast, boutique retail, or live/work use. Included with the property are two adjacent lots, providing excellent potential for expansion, parking, or outdoor enhancements. The property features four bedrooms (potential for 5th) and two and a half bathrooms, highlighted by exquisite original oak woodwork, 9-foot sliding doors, detailed beam ceilings, built-in curio cabinetry, and a grand foyer with the original ceramic fireplace. The eat-in kitchen comes with appliances and some original cabinetry, alongside a formal dining room and convenient main-level laundry. The finished lower level includes a large family/entertainment room, full bath, game room, storm shelter, and large storage room with built in shelving. A large third-floor walk-up attic adds even more storage options. Additional features include a private parking lot, a shed with electricity, an in-ground sprinkler system, wired fire alarm, and lush landscaping featuring over 5,000 daffodils, tulips, and wildflowers. The home sits on a poured concrete foundation reinforced with seven steel beams—an added structural bonus when the home was relocated to its current location.
