Property Description
In search of the next steward to update and care for this piece of Indiana History. The Indiana Landmarks Association moved The May House to its current site on a new poured concrete foundation in the Chapin Park Historical District. This neighborhood offers an ideal location from which to enjoy the best that South Bend has to offer - Leeper Park and the St. Joe River in your backyard, DTSB including the Morris and Civic theatres down Michigan St to the south, and Notre Dame just to the north. While the home has had some electrical updates, the remaining plumbing and HVAC will be the responsibility of the new owner. The site would also allow for a carriage house/garage to be placed at the rear of the property. This home has dual designation as an Indiana Historical Landmark as well as being located in an historical histrict and will require approval for exterior modifications. While not the right fit for everyone, this property does offer a unique opportunity for a visionary homeowner to make this home the crown jewel of the Chapin Park neighborhood.
