River Home For Sale

Situated on a wooded riverfront, this incredible home offers commanding water views from every room of the beautiful 122 feet of waterfront along the storied St. Joseph River. Perfectly sited to take advantage of the wooded, park-like lot, the home provides open vistas of the impressive water views from every room. The spirit of this home was conceived from the outset to have deep regional roots. Its character and scale were thoughtfully considered when constructing its timeless style and intentional detail. The light-filled, open, and flowing floor plan combines perfectly with its tasteful natural decor, offering balance and function. The well-appointed rooms are gracious yet intimate, giving form to a home as suited to entertaining as it is to quiet living. Upon entry into the home, you are greeted by a two-story foyer flanked by the dining area and great room. The library/family gathering space features bespoke woodwork and opens onto a lovely two-story brick veranda with incredible water views. The enormous kitchen is served by extensive countertops and incredible storage, as well as a huge central island. It is complemented by a second kitchen directly behind, so that preparation for large events or even daily use can be hidden away instantly. The private principal bedroom suite offers spectacular lake views with the river in the distance and is complemented by a large dressing room and impressive bathroom. All the bedrooms are spacious. The walkout lower level features a large family room with a fireplace, a full bedroom suite, and an additional full kitchen with windows and a slider overlooking the waterfront, all flowing onto an enormous brick riverfront patio. Among the home's many outstanding features is its thoughtfully planned exterior. The home's massing allows for the creation of beautiful exterior spaces, and a lovely entry court welcomes visitors. A covered porch overlooking the river beckons from the great room's French doors, and a grade-level terrace flows from the house to the waterfront. The home is located minutes from Notre Dame, the hospitals, and area restaurants, yet its secluded setting makes it feel a world away.
