STR & MTR. Close to several colleges, including Purdue and Notre Dame. Minutes from Northwest Health and 20 from Franciscan Health Hospital. Clear Lake and Fox Memorial Park right down the street. Plenty to do for any age group, lakes, national parks, museums, Hesston Trains, casinos, golf, and vineyards. Besides livin' the lake life in the summer, we're 23 minutes from the Michiana Trail Riders Coalition, for off-roading and snowmobiling. If it gets cold enough, there's also ice fishing. Part of the historic Judge John Barron Niles House. The townhome flows well and sleeps from 1 to 6 comfortably, although there is an air mattress and couch for more to stay. We have a relaxing front porch with swings, a decent size front yard with a hedge border, and views of another beautiful historic home next door. As you walk in, you're greeted by the original curved staircase leading to the second level, with the living room to your right, the foyer is a wide hallway leading to a pass-through half-bath and then onto the back bedroom. When you enter the living room, there's a big screen tv with cable, a sofa, and plenty of natural light. The full kitchen has an oval table with chairs & bench seating made from an old church pew. Behind the kitchen is the relaxing 3rd bedroom with 2 twin day beds. It also has a dresser with a fold out desk, which could double as another workspace, access to the pass-through half-bath, and a decorative fireplace. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with two twins, big closets, nice views, and natural light. To round off the upstairs, there's a full bathroom with a curved rod for extra room in the shower, and plenty of storage. We are always improving the property to better your stay!

Doordash is always around for a bite to eat without leaving the couch. Although, if you're heading to Pine or Stone Lakes, you'll want a vehicle or Uber. There is a section of gravel leading to the stairs, as we had to repair the front steps. Lots of big trees to make a beautiful autumn view. Enjoy yourself!!
