Discover the perfect combination of timeless charm and modern updates in this beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bath riverfront home located on the St. Joseph River in Mishawaka, Indiana.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn to the deep lot with a U-shaped drive and the expansive 86 feet of private river frontage, complete with a dock, covered boat lift, and boathouse — a rare find for boating and water enthusiasts. This section of the St. Joseph River is unusually wide and calm, with a lake-like feel and deep water, perfect for fishing, swimming or jumping in right from the dock. Step onto the 8’ x 20’ deck above and take in sweeping views of the water, perfect for morning coffee or sunset gatherings.
Inside, the home offers nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of living space, including a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a bright living room with engineered bamboo floors, and updated bathrooms with stylish finishes. The 86’ x 306’ lot provides a large backyard, firepit area, and plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. The property also features a mature peach tree, cherry tree, wild grape vines, and three large box gardens for growing your own vegetables.
Built in 1938, this move-in ready 2-story home blends character with convenience. Located just minutes from the vibrant new downtown Mishawaka, you’ll have easy access to restaurants, bars, entertainment, and shopping. Enjoy the beautiful Riverwalk Park complete with multiple splash pads, playgrounds, pickleball courts, and tennis courts. The home is also within a few hundred yards of Wyland’s Marina and a public boat launch that also includes an off-leash dog park. It is only 6.4 miles from the University of Notre Dame and less than a mile from Penn High School, where you can hear the marching band play from your deck.
