Contractors, builders and investors take note. Rare opportunity for 3 acres on the St Joe River in South Bend. Property is located on the city's north side across the river from St Pat's Park. This secluded three acre lot has a wonderful mid-century home in need of great repair. The home's main floor features a large family room with vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling brick fireplace as well as a formal dining room and kitchen. Half flight upstairs are three bedrooms with two full bathrooms (one is an en-suite). Half flight downstairs is a family room with fireplace, walkout patio and a 4th bedroom with 1/2 bath. Also there's a huge lower level basement space. The home needs total rehab from top to bottom. The foundation is VERY solid and there are wood and slate floors throughout. With creativity and vision this property could be your wooded, river-side dream. Call for a private showing.
