Comfortable, updated, spacious family home for Notre Dame football weekends

The listing is our family home. We have lived in South Bend since 1994. My wife and I are both Notre Dame alumni. We had founded a Montessori school in South Bend where Dan was head of school. After Felicia died in 2017, Dan spent a few more years at the school but then moved into a new position at Notre Dame. Dan and Felicia were both Notre Dame alumni, and we have five grown children living in Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, and South Bend. One son lives at home, but Dan now lives on campus with their two labrador retrievers. While the dogs are rarely at the house, and we do professionally clean it, we want you to know just in case you have allergies. We have been very happy in South Bend, and very happy in our home.

We moved into this home in 2010 to move closer to downtown and the children's schools. Previous to this we lived north of town. We enjoy this wonderful walkable neighborhood of brick homes and sidewalks. Friendly, personable neighbors make it a special place, close to downtown South Bend, the South Bend Farmers Market, and Notre Dame.

We ride bikes to Notre Dame, and on football weekends we often walk, without traffic and parking that can put you rather far from campus. We walk less than two miles to restaurants downtown. While Ironwood is a fairly busy street and we are on the corner of Cedar and Ironwood, the neighborhood is quiet, and our fence, built in fall 2014, creates a lovely private backyard despite the location on Ironwood. It is a wonderful place for outdoor entertaining.
