Do you love the grandness and character of traditional historic homes but the ease and sophistication of a modern smart home? Look no further than this 3-bedroom home located in the nationally ranked Chapin Park Historic District just minutes from downtown South Bend without being in the hustle and bustle of city living and traffic. Smart features include the thermostat, lighting, ceiling fans, and door locks all of which enhance but not diminish the charm of original trim and hardwood floors in this home. Beautiful double doors in the front room and office give you the option to close off rooms for privacy or open up for a great flow; the enormous nearly floor to ceiling windows allow all for tremendous natural light no matter what option you choose. Kitchen features stainless steel appliances (2017), tile backsplash, and easy access to the mudroom with cabinets and shelving perfect to use as a pantry. Not only is the inside historically beautiful but exterior of the home is bursting with allure; the entire front is landscaped with perennials to allow for gorgeous color throughout the seasons, 2 massive walnut trees in the back to provide every bit of shade, lastly intricately laid paths made of bricks from historic Studebaker and roads from the era. Updates: new furnace Nov '19; all electrical grounded, front porch, custom top down-bottom up blinds, fully updated ML bath, and smart features all within 3 years.
