About This Home

As of July 2013

Authentic and Romantic 1940's Log Cabin slightly hidden within the tall pines & birch tress, resting on the banks of the famous Northerly flowing St. Joe River. Owner(Designer/Artist)has enchantingly created an inviting modern space while not taking away from the secretive getaway feel of a cabin in woods. Step onto the wide plank pine flooring throughout, and into the open concept Kitchen where you'll find handcrafted black walnut, natural-edged slab counter tops, and maple cabinetry... and of course new appliances. No stone unturned here, even the main level bath is modernized with tile and multiple shower heads. Guided by skylights, you're led to the original stone fireplace & River views. A step outside places you onto the river side deck. If that's not close enough to the water, a w ide staircase takes you to a halfway deck to enjoy the 160' of river frontage. Located within 30 min from Notre Dame, South Bend airport & 20 Min to Lake Michigan. 90 Minutes from Chicago.
