The Space:

This clean and comfortable home was recently renovated by a local artist. Therefore, it is full of color and unique features you won't see in other homes. Take a stroll in the safe, historic neighborhood then come back home to enjoy the backyard deck and view some of the artist's pieces in the gallery, living, and dining rooms. The stunning kitchen boasts of all the modern amenities including a dishwasher drawer! The home has four guest bedrooms each with a locking door. Not to worry, there are three full bathrooms and two half bathrooms in the home.



Guest Access:

Get to our home via car, bus, Uber, bike, or on foot (depending upon where you are). Parking is free and easy. Prior to your stay a guest manual will be shared with you that contains details for things such as parking, check-in, and wi-fi. Also checkout the guidebook for restaurant and sightseeing recommendations.



The Neighborhood:

The Near West Side neighborhood is a diverse, historic neighborhood and one of the oldest in South Bend. The neighborhood has everything from cozy bungalows to sprawling mansions and friendly neighbors from all walks of life.



Within minutes of walking distance to the home are some beautiful places, including: The Oliver Mansion, a 38-room Victorian house, the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum, the K.C. De Rhodes House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and Tippecanoe Place, Clem Studebaker's historic mansion and restaurant, and the Civil Rights Heritage Center.



Getting Around:

This neighborhood is very walkable with downtown only 10 minutes away. Bicycle access around town is quick and easy, with some streets having dedicated bike lanes. The town also has a bus system (SB Transpo) and buses run near the house every 30 minutes (on Western Ave). We are located 2.5 miles from Notre Dame, and a short drive to the SBN (regional airport and bus depot). Give yourself about 15 minutes to Notre Dame by car; parking on campus can also be difficult, so cabs/Uber or the bus system can provide convenient alternatives.



Uber and Lyft are available in South Bend, as are normal cabs.



Other Things to Note:

Note: the home was recently renovated and some finishing touches are still being completed.
