In a city where fall Saturdays shape the calendar, location changes everything. This five-bedroom home sits just under a mile from Notre Dame Stadium, positioned almost perfectly between the campus of the University of Notre Dame, Eddy Street Commons, and downtown South Bend.
You can walk to kickoff. Walk to dinner. Walk home.
No parking logistics. No traffic delays. No splitting into multiple cars.
This is the kind of house that becomes the headquarters for the weekend.
Designed for Groups Who Actually Want to Stay Together
With five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the layout comfortably supports families, alumni groups, conference attendees, or multi-generational trips.
Sleeping arrangements include:
- Two king bedrooms
- One queen bedroom with a daybed
- One double bedroom
- One twin bedroom with two beds
The home feels substantial without being overwhelming. Nearly 100 years old, it carries character — including the subtle creak of original floors — while offering the updates modern travelers expect.
Both bathrooms are newly remodeled. The main level includes a tub. The lower level features a large walk-in shower.
Two Kitchens. Two Living Rooms. Seven Smart TVs.
What makes this property especially functional for groups is separation without disconnection.
There are two fully stocked kitchens:
- Upstairs: full stove and oven
- Downstairs: toaster oven setup
Both include full-size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and essentials.
Two living areas allow different rhythms to coexist — pre-game coverage upstairs, late-night replays downstairs.
The upstairs living room features a 70-inch TV. The basement includes two 55-inch TVs. In total, there are seven smart TVs throughout the home, including in nearly every bedroom.
It’s easy to watch every game without negotiating the remote.
A Backyard That Extends the Experience
The outdoor space shifts the energy of the home.
A newly hardscaped patio anchors the yard, complete with:
- Covered luxury hot tub
- Fire pit
- Patio seating
- Charcoal grill
After the stadium crowds clear, this is where conversations stretch longer. It works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for celebratory evenings.
Hot tub use is paused between 10 PM and 7 AM to respect city quiet hours.
Built for Work, Too
Not every trip is purely recreational.
The home includes:
- A dedicated office with a six-foot desk and strong natural light
- A secondary workspace in the basement
- Fast WiFi
- Free washer and dryer
For guests attending conferences at Notre Dame or working remotely while traveling, productivity doesn’t require compromise.
What to Expect Before Arrival
Guests have exclusive access to the entire home and backyard. Two closets remain locked for cleaning supplies.
To receive the entry code:
- The rental agreement must be signed
- A $500 refundable security deposit must be submitted
Once completed, access instructions are sent via message and email.
Additional notes:

- Stays longer than 14 days require an additional mid-stay cleaning fee
- An initial supply of essentials is provided
- Pets are not permitted
Two exterior security cameras (front and back) are in place for guest safety.
Why This Property Works So Well?
Many homes near campus offer proximity.
Few offer both proximity and infrastructure.
This one does.
Walkable to the stadium. Walkable to downtown. Private parking available. Enough gathering space for everyone to be together — without being on top of each other.
It is equally suited for:
- Game weekends
- Family reunions
- Graduation stays
- Alumni gatherings
- Extended visits
- Conference travel
Comfort, layout, and location intersect here in a way that feels intentional.
If your visit to South Bend revolves around Notre Dame — or simply being together — this home makes the logistics disappear so the experience can take over.
