Property Description

**Open House Sunday September 14th @ 2-4** Welcome to a rare and remarkable opportunity in South Bend's historic West Colfax District—just minutes from the University of Notre Dame. Built in 1903 as a Swiss chalet for a Studebaker executive, this turn-of-the-century landmark has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, making it a one-of-a-kind home with incredible potential as a luxury short-term rental or Airbnb. Behind its charming façade, you'll find over 4,000 square feet of living space, offering 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and the ability to comfortably sleep up to 12 guests. The layout spans three levels, giving both spacious common areas for gathering and private retreats for rest. The third-floor suite, complete with full bath, oversized walk-in closet, and mini balcony, is ideal for hosting larger groups or multigenerational stays. The main level showcases the home's historic character with soaring ceilings, original oak woodwork, double parlors, and a formal dining room dressed with brand-new window coverings. The heart of the home—the kitchen and butler's pantry—has been refreshed with modern touches, including new flooring and a handcrafted penny-tile floor that serves as a conversation piece for guests. Every detail blends old-world charm with modern convenience: restored hardwood floors, antique lighting, smart thermostat, updated plumbing and electrical, and even a secondary staircase that creates a natural separation for guest quarters. Outside, a spacious fully fenced backyard with hot tub sets the stage for entertaining or relaxing between Notre Dame game days and downtown outings. The large basement adds practical storage and laundry space. Whether you're looking for a historic primary residence, a unique game-day retreat, or a turnkey short-term rental property with prime proximity to campus, this home delivers. Opportunities like this are rare—schedule your showing today!
