Property Description

AUCTION - LIST PRICE IS STARTING BID PRICE! Historic Samuel P. Williams House Selling at Online Auction! 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 on 2.3+/- private acres in Howe, Indiana. Rich in character and craftsmanship, the home welcomes you with its original mahogany staircase in the grand foyer. Historic features include multiple fireplaces, an elegant library surrounded by original built-in glass bookcases, an 1800s chandelier and remarkable hand-hewn timber construction. Spend an afternoon reading in the library where generations of history seem to come alive within the beautifully preserved walls. Thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its historic integrity, the home features an updated kitchen with a secondary staircase leading to the upper level. The oversized mudroom offers abundant storage, a utility sink and an added full bathroom, creating a practical everyday entry without sacrificing historic charm. Upstairs, the updated full bath features a timeless porcelain clawfoot tub and beautiful tiled flooring, providing the perfect place to unwind after a day spent tending the gardens or exploring the property's rich history. The spacious main-level primary bedroom offers a cozy wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting retreat. Throughout the home, original architectural details blend seamlessly with tasteful updates, offering both comfort and character. Outside, the grounds feature more than 120 mature trees, established gardens, a restored historic-style grape arbor and an original 1840s carriage house with electricity. Enjoy a quiet morning coffee or relax with your favorite book on the covered front porch as birdsong fills the air and the peaceful sounds of nature surround you. Extensive improvements, including rewiring, replumbing and 28 custom triple-pane storm windows, provide modern comfort while preserving the home's historic appeal. Conveniently located less than an hour from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, the property offers easy access to one of the Midwest's premier universities, cultural attractions and sporting events while maintaining the peace and charm of small-town living. A rare opportunity to become the next steward of an extraordinary piece of Indiana history. Online bidding ends September 2 at 2 PM ET. Open houses August 4 at 5 PM and August 22 at 1 PM.
