1022 E Colfax Ave, South Bend, IN, 46617
About This Home
Rare mixed-use opportunity in South Bend's historic Colfax corridor. This spacious building sits within a Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning district, opening the door to residential, small-commercial, or blended live/work uses in a corridor experiencing active reinvestment. The property has already benefited from $90,000 inrenovations, fully completed — a head start most comparable listings in this price range can't match. Inside, the home retains beautiful original woodwork throughout, paired with generously sized rooms and classic period details rarely found at this price point. Located within a local historic district; exterior work is subject to design review. A standout opportunity for buyers who want character, space, and flexibility in one property. Are you an Investor?
