Step into this inviting 1-story home in South Bend's Forest Park neighborhood and you'll feel it right away — 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths laid out for easy, comfortable living. Warm wood flooring carries through the main-level bedrooms, and the spacious kitchen opens up beautifully, giving you plenty of room to gather and entertain. The primary bedroom is your own private retreat, complete with its own bath. On cooler evenings, the family room's woodburning fireplace becomes the heart of the home. Head downstairs and the finished basement keeps the good times going with a recreation area, a playroom, and shelved storage to keep everything organized. You'll love the peace of mind that comes with a brand-new roof and a high-efficiency furnace, plus an air conditioner and water heater both replaced within the last 5 years. Out back, the fenced yard is ready for everything — an open patio for morning coffee, a firepit for summer nights, and a storage shed for all your extras. And you're just minutes from shopping and restaurants.
