About This Home

As of October 2024

A stunning, Mid-Century Modern home with sought-after architectural details on a lovely, wooded 2.5-acre lot. Many significant interior and exterior improvements have been made to the home in just the past year, including a brand new roof (see list attached). There is a gorgeous new KitchenAid kitchen that artfully blends modern conveniences with the original design of the era, including all new cabinets and quartz countertops, new large kitchen island with electrical for appliances, all new stainless appliances, and new sink and fixtures. The blue-tile backsplash is original to the home with large windows that let the light shine. The living room is grand with wood beams at the ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the wooded back yard. The centerpiece of the living room is the irregular stone, wood-burning fireplace with original tools and holder echoing the stone on the exterior and in the entryway of the home. The space between the living room and kitchen has been opened up to provide a better flow to the rooms. Freshly painted formal dining room also has floor-to-ceiling windows as well as windows that look out to the front. Black walnut, wide plank, pegged floors accent the living spaces. New floors have been added to the kitchen and dining areas - carefully selected and milled in Chicago - for a seamless look. The storage on the main level is unique with floor-to-ceiling closets in the dining area, original pantry near the kitchen and floating closet in the entryway. Also on the main floor are three bedrooms with closets, full bath and half bath. The half bath has been updated while preserving the retro tile and lighting. A brand new family living space has been added in the lower, walk-out level with second kitchen, dining area or game space, and media area for movie-time or watching your favorite teams. There's also laundry and an additional room that can be used for a home office, exercise room, children's play area, craft room or storage space. The lower level has a completely remodeled full bath with custom "no clean" glass shower with 10-year warranty. On the exterior, there is a new retaining wall in the front, sitting area/patio in the back, and winding stairs that lead down to the garage, walk-out level and drive. As you walk around the home, you will see how it has been artfully placed on the wooded setting. The original blueprints by architect Harold T. Gulliksen and a Mid-Century Modern media console original to the home are included with the sale. Conveniently located near the 31 Bypass, making it a short drive to South Bend, IN, or St. Joseph, MI.
