About this property
1 mile from ND! Beautifully renovated and roomy 4-bed, 3-bath home, wooded lot.
Located less than one mile north of Notre Dame campus, Tall Oaks Cottage is near to everything yet nestled on a quiet wooded property. With four bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this spacious home is perfect for families or small group gatherings. A beautiful brick mid-century ranch, designer-updatedwith modern amenities, the home features two inviting living/dining areas, a large screened-in porch, and an outdoor patio area.
In town for a football game? Just 1.7 miles from Notre Dame Stadium, Tall Oaks Cottage is a quick and easy walk to White Field, for free game-day shuttle service. Centrally located 1.5 miles from St. Joseph River parks and trails, and four miles from downtown South Bend. Abundant dining and entertainment offerings are a few short minutes away at Eddy Street Commons, along Rt 933, and on Main Street in Mishawaka.

Step through the front door to a light-filled living room with a cozy gas log fireplace and large smart TV, then continue to the fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The main level has 3 bedrooms and two renovated full bathrooms. A large primary bedroom boasts new king bed and ensuite bathroom. The roomy second bedroom features a new king bed.

The lower level includes a spacious family room with a bright and cheerful seating area and game table that expands to fit your group. A full bath and private fourth bedroom with new queen bed and built-in desk are on this level. Washer and dryer available on the lower level.
Right out the back door, you'll enjoy a relaxing screened-in porch with ample space to enjoy the fresh air and wooded scenery without being exposed to the elements. Step outside to the large, shady yard with plenty of grass for lawn games. On the patio, find a table with chairs and a propane gas grill as well as an adjacent gas firepit and swing.

About the host
Hosted by Wendy and Mike Mospan
We live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and love to visit South Bend. Two of our three sons attended Notre Dame, and one of them eventually married a woman from South Bend and came to work for the university. They live in the area with their three sons. We've enjoyed many visits here over the years. Now we want to share our love for South Bend with other visitors. We hope our newly remodeled mid-century ranch will become your home away from home.
