The Oliver Inn
South Bend, IN
Offered for sale at $1,800,000
Originally built in 1897 for the purpose of entertaining in grand fashion, The Oliver Inn offers timeless elegance paired with modern convenience—perfectly suited for today’s innkeeper or investor. This stately property has been thoughtfully maintained and updated, making it an ideal turnkey opportunity.
The main house features spacious, welcoming common areas, including a beautifully appointed living room/library with a grand piano (which conveys with the sale), a generous dining room with plenty of space for inn guests or events, and a professional-grade chef’s kitchen with two oversized pantries and extensive built-in storage—ideal for efficient service and event hosting.
Accommodations include seven guest rooms on the second floor, a private suite on the third floor, and an additional guest suite located in the Carriage House. Built in 1912, the Carriage House once housed the family’s chauffeur and vehicles. Today, the second floor has been converted into a fully functional 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with its own kitchen, laundry, screened-in balcony, and separate HVAC system—making it perfect as owner’s quarters, a long-term rental, or a high-performing guest suite.
The main house also offers a discreet staff/service entrance to the kitchen and back-of-house areas, with access to the basement (used for laundry, storage, and mechanicals) and secondary staircases leading to the upper guest floors—allowing seamless operations without disturbing guest experiences.
