Property Description
Welcome to 1012 W. Colfax Avenue, a spacious historic home, built in 1882 in the Gabled-Ell architectural style. It is officially classified as a contributing property within South Bend's West Washington Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places near downtown South Bend. It offers four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. All levels features original hardwood floors, high ceilings, a grand foyer with beautiful chandeliers, a living room with a fireplace, a large formal dining room, and a family room that could serve as a den or office. You'll also find a first floor laundry room with closet space, a full bathroom, and a spacious kitchen with original cabinetry and appliances included. The second floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a kitchenette area with a sink. Additional highlights include a partitioned Michigan basement, two electrical meters, a large fenced private yard, and a detached four-car concrete-block garage with separate bays. With some minor tender loving care, this impressive property could be restored to its original beauty. It offers excellent potential as a spacious residence, short-term rental, or possible two-unit conversion, subject to zoning and local approval. So much space and opportunity.
