About this home
Historic character, timeless craftsmanship, and one of the most desirable locations in St. Joseph come together at this beautifully preserved early-1900s Craftsman on Forres Avenue. Situated directly across from Milton Park on a picturesque tree-lined brick street, the home is just a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the beaches of Lake Michigan. Originally built for the Hatch family, this exceptional residence offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space and showcases remarkable original craftsmanship including rich woodwork, crown molding, and hardwood floors throughout.
The spacious layout offers both elegance and comfort with a formal dining room, inviting living room, and a comfortable family room that opens through French doors to a large deck ideal for entertaining. The kitchen features newer fingerprint resistant black stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, an informal dining area, and a charming butler's pantry. A main-level bedroom or office with private exterior entry provides excellent flexibility for guests, remote work, or creative space, along with a convenient main-level half bath. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers abundant natural light and the convenience of in-suite laundry (new in 2025), while 2 additional bedrooms and additional bath provide comfortable accommodations. An original antique hutch from the Hatch Family estate remains at the upper landing, adding to the home's rich history.
Recent improvements include $50,000 Renewal by Andersen windows on the main level, a new gas fireplace insert, a new shower surround in the primary bath, new garage doors, and a new roof with leaf guards installed on both the home and garage in 2024. Set on 1.5 lots, the property features a charming covered front porch with porch swing, an expansive entertaining deck, fenced backyard, abundant parking, and a two-car garage. A full basement provides excellent storage and future potential.
With its exceptional park-side setting, historic charm, and thoughtful updates, 1508 Forres Avenue represents a rare opportunity to own a classic St. Joseph home in one of the community's most beloved neighborhoods....
