Property Description
Historic Samuel P. Williams House - Built between 1838 and 1843 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable Western Reserve-style home offers approximately 3,850 SF with 6 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on approximately 2.3+/- private acres in Howe, Indiana. Step inside and experience nearly two centuries of history and craftsmanship. The home features an original mahogany staircase, multiple fireplaces, a beautiful library with original built-in glass bookcases, an 1800s chandelier and impressive hand-hewn timber construction. The spacious main-level bedroom features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the updated kitchen, oversized mudroom and thoughtfully updated baths, including an upstairs bath with a porcelain clawfoot tub and tiled flooring, add modern comfort while complementing the home's historic character. Outside, more than 120 mature trees create a peaceful setting surrounding established gardens, a restored historic-style grape arbor and an original 1840s carriage house with electricity. Relax on the covered porch, enjoy the sounds of nature and take in the beauty of a property that has stood for generations. Extensive improvements include rewiring, replumbing and 28 custom triple-pane storm windows, thoughtfully completed to enhance everyday living while maintaining the home's historic appearance. Conveniently located less than an hour from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, the property also offers easy access to one of the Midwest's most renowned universities, cultural attractions and sporting events while maintaining the peace and charm of small-town living. With 6 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, approximately 3,850 SF and 2.3+/- private acres, the Samuel P. Williams House offers much more than historic significance. It is a spacious and distinctive home ready for its next chapter and a rare opportunity to become the next steward of an extraordinary piece of Indiana history.
