Property Description

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF ELKHART HISTORY. Meticulously preserved and rich in architectural character, this remarkable circa-1877 Second Empire/Italianate residence seamlessly blends more than 145 years of history with modern-day comfort. Built on land known as the Bickel Addition, the home was commissioned by James Kavanaugh, co-owner of Kavanaugh & Pollard Grocery, once Elkhart's largest grocery business. The residence was later home to renowned architect E. Hill Turnock, whose architectural legacy includes the celebrated Ruthmere Mansion. Rated “Outstanding” for architectural integrity in an Elkhart County architectural survey, this impressive three-story residence retains nearly all of its original architectural features. Offering 3,644 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and potential for a 6th bedroom, the home provides a flexible layout with exceptional character rarely found in today's market. Historic details abound, including soaring 12-foot-plus ceilings, 10-foot hardwood doorways and original pocket doors, crown molding, refinished hardwood floors, three staircases, and historic servant pass-throughs. The thoughtfully arranged interior includes a parlor with original library built-ins, great room with fireplace, billiard room, sunroom, and Coppes kitchen—each offering its own connection to the home's remarkable past. Modern improvements, including a new boiler system, tankless water heater, and water softener, provide everyday conveniences while preserving the architectural integrity and charm of the residence. The seller is also offering a one-year home warranty for added peace of mind. Professionally maintained and extensively documented, this extraordinary property offers the rare opportunity to become the steward of a home that has been part of Elkhart's story for nearly a century and a half. The property is not currently listed on a historic register and has no restrictions, offering flexibility and potential for the next owner! Homes with this level of history, craftsmanship, original character, and documented architectural significance rarely come to market. Now, the opportunity is yours to write the next chapter. of its legacy!
