This once elegant historical Colonial "Magnolia" is located on one of the prettiest streets in South Bend above panoramic views of the St. Joseph river. Buyer of this home will need to put some tender loving care to unlock her true value and glory. Within a mile of the campus and close to downtown. It is an "Honor built" home, the top of the Line produced by Sears in the 20th Century. For more about the Magnolia visit Sears Magnolia on Google . Impressive columns greet guests to the portico and main foyer. To the right is a large living room, and through the bookcases, is the main floor Sun room. To the left you would be called to the dinner in the Dining room with pleasing views of the river. Imagine as you enter the dining room Bette Davis descending the staircase as she did while staying here for the debut of "Knute Rockne All American." Beyond the staircase is a half Bath ; to the right is the den with fireplace; to the left is entry to the vintage kitchen. Of course the kitchen has stairs leading to the maids quarters. Some of the original hardware and accessories still remain.
