About This Home
As of November 2018West Colfax Avenue was the home U.S. Speaker of the House "Schuyler Colfax" when the 13th Amendment to U.S. Constitution was passed-- Mr. Colfax voted in favor of this amendment "abolishing slavery". President Abraham Lincoln's carriage rests just 2 blocks away from this very home as well as Tippecanoe Place, Kizer Mansion, and amazing historical homes in this historic district. Furthermore, our Near Westside Neighborhood Organization has been recognized by South Bend's NRC and brings the community together all year round. Common Realtor language of today does not fully capture the essence of this very nice move-in ready home and amazing neighborhood. This house is built in the late 1800's -- today's amenities include: original hardwood floors in every room except for tiled bathrooms and modern laundry area; 3 Bedrooms and 2.5 half bathrooms with central air and a high efficiency furnace make this a wonderfully pleasant home year-round; Dining room, Family room, and 2 fireplaces welcome family and friends like no other. Front room is great for large office either for professional or home business. Porch with swing invites neighbors to visit and share life. Modern tiled floor in a Michigan basement is a recent addition and "R-40" attic insulation increases second floor heating and cooling efficiency. This home's original historical character and charm remains while having modern conveniences such as: newer stainless steel appliances, alarm system, a newer 2 car garage and loft. Furthermore, the large deck, fenced in back yard, garden with raised beds, bonfire area, 3 fruit trees and raspberry bushes, tree house with zip line is like living with a small Park in your back yard.
