About This Home
Welcome home to 1603 Hoover Ave, a place where memories weren’t just made — they were cultivated. Tucked inside one of South Bend’s most charming, quiet, and genuinely neighborly pockets, the Sunnymede neighborhood, this is the kind of home people feel connected to before they even walk through the door. The owner originally moved here years ago for one simple reason: it felt safe. It felt right. Their heart, time, and love was poured into every inch of this home. You can feel that warmth the moment you arrive. The backyard is where the home truly comes alive — a private retreat framed by a new 6-foot cedar privacy fence, thoughtfully designed landscaping, and beautiful pavers perfectly laid out for lounging or relaxing under the open sky. Evenings around the fire pit, quiet mornings with coffee on the screened-in porch, and afternoons in the sunshine... this outdoor space offers comfort, connection, and calm. Step inside and you’re welcomed by hardwood floors that flow through the main level, connecting a warm living space to a beautifully refurbished kitchen designed for everyday living. Enjoy casual meals in the cozy eat-in area and gather with loved ones in the formal dining room, a space filled with conversations and memories waiting to happen. Important updates bring peace of mind: Metal roof (2024), Newer windows (2021), HVAC (2015). All thoughtful investments that protect the home and keep it running smoothly for years to come. You'll eventually find that the flow of the hardwood floors continue onto the second level and additionally you’ll find three inviting bedrooms — including a surprisingly spacious primary bedroom that feels like a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. A full bathroom is conveniently located on this level, while a half bath on the main adds everyday practicality. The partially finished basement offers a bonus living area — perfect for movie nights, a playroom, hobbies, or simply a cozy hangout spot. Storage is abundant with a handy backyard shed and a two-stall attached garage. And when you step beyond this quiet, quaint neighborhood, you’re moments from some of South Bend’s most loved amenities: The Farmers Market, Potawatomi Zoo, Local shops, cafés, and community favorites along with parks and recreation spots close by. This isn’t just a house. It’s a story. A lovingly maintained home in a location that has offered safety, comfort, and connection — now ready to open its door for the next chapter.
