HOME DETAILS | 831 Colfax
Welcome to a rare and remarkable opportunity in South Bend's historic West Colfax. A turn-of-the-century Swiss chalet built in 1903 by Francis Keefer for Studebaker executive Horace Kauffman. A true Indiana landmark, this architectural masterpiece has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully restored, blending timeless character and modern convenience. Behind its charming facade, you'll discover over 4,000 square feet of living space, including 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms spread across three levels. The main floor welcomes you with an expansive covered front porch, a grand entryway, soaring ceilings, and original oak woodwork. Double parlors with pocket doors set a warm and elegant tone, while the formal dining room is accented with brand new floor length window dressings that add privacy and style. The heart of the home- the kitchen and butler's pantry- has been elevated with fresh modern touches. The kitchen features new flooring, and the butler's pantry is a work of art in itself, boasting one of a kind penny tile floor handcrafted by an artist, along with new William Morris inspired wallpaper that perfectly compliments the home's heritage. A conveniently located half bath serves on the main floor, while the upper levels offer the bedrooms and accompanied full bathrooms. The spacious primary suite includes newly painted walk-in closet with custom organization system. Primary closet is also equipped with a laundry hookup for added functionality. The third level- a fully finished attic- provides an unexpected retreat, complete with full bathroom, huge walk-in closet, and an adorable mini balcony. A secondary back staircase offers ideal separation for guests or mutigenerational living. Throughout the home, original details shine- from antique light fixtures and restored hardwood floors to the original tile in the foyer and beautifully updated historic windows. Every inch has been cared for, with major improvements throughout the years like updated plumbing and electrical systems, eco-friendly enhancements, and a smart home thermostat. A spacious, fully fenced backyard offers both privacy and room to entertain, and a hot tub invites year-round relaxation. The large basement includes laundry area and ample storage, completing the home's highly functional layout. With distinctive architecture, thoughtful updates, and central location, this home is a true gem. Schedule your showing TODAY!
