6 beds | 3 baths | 3204 sqft

1 / 89
Property Description
Just 90 minutes from Chicago and 20 minutes from South Bend, tucked into the rolling landscape of southwest Michigan, sits a home that has been loved fully. This is not a house that was merely maintained, it was cherished. Step onto the covered front porch and you'll immediately feel it, the particular warmth that only a special home carries. The swing stays. So does the character. At 3,204 square feet with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, set on nearly 2 acres, this home was built for gathering. Inside, original woodwork greets you with the kind of craftsmanship rarely found in new construction. Wide, bold trim frames the doorways and windows throughout the front of the home, speaking to an era when builders took their time. Pella windows throughout bathe the interior in soft natural light, and a vintage clawfoot tub with original lighting in the main-level bath is a genuinely unique touch that sets this home apart.

Supplements
The kitchen is bright and white with Merillat cabinets and a generously sized walk-in pantry with built-in shelving to keep everything beautifully organized. This is a kitchen that has been the heart of many gathering, the keeper of many memories, and has fed many people well. Two family rooms make the home genuinely exceptional for large households or those who love to entertain. One is anchored by a wood-burning stove -- the kind that turns a cold Michigan evening into something you actually look forward to. The other is tucked behind a beautiful set of French doors, offering a sense of arrival that makes even an ordinary day feel a little more intentional. Three bedrooms, a spacious mudroom that greets you off the back entrance, and an oversized laundry room with a folding table and built-in shelves rounds out the main level thoughtfully. Upstairs, the oversized primary bedroom features an en suite bath, with additional bedrooms that offer plenty of room for family, guests, or a dedicated home office.
Five outbuildings offer extraordinary versatility -- whether you envision a workshop, a studio, additional storage, a hobby farm setup, or simply the freedom of having space and options. For buyers who are craving room to expand, to create, or simply to have, this is a rarity.
This home is close enough for a long weekend escape but yet far enough to truly leave the city behind. The best coffee cafe/lunch spot, Ray & Al's Lunchroom, is right down the road! The Lake Michigan shoreline, Harbor Country's shops and wineries, Fernwood Botanical Garden, and the beaches of St. Joseph are all within easy reach. South Bend, with its restaurants, University of Notre Dame events, regional airport, and growing arts scene, is just 20 minutes away. It is one of the most livable corners of the Midwest. Come and see it for yourself. Some homes you have to walk through to get the full experience.
