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.
