214 E Diamond Street

Room to grow and history to love! Stained-glass windows, coffered ceilings, original hardwood floors, and abundant wood trim and wainscoting give this circa-1888 home the character older-home buyers look for. The white exterior with decorative shingle gables, a covered front porch, and mature trees gives it strong curb appeal. Inside are 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with 2,718 sq ft of finished living space. The main level has flexible traditional living areas, including the front room with its stained glass, and the upper level holds comfortable bedrooms. A full basement and unfinished attic add storage and future potential for a studio, suite, or extra space. Key updates include a newer roof, updated HVAC, and replacement windows, so you get modern systems while keeping the period charm. Outside, the 0.29-acre lot is larger than typical for the neighborhood and includes a detached garage and plenty of outdoor space. The home sits just outside the downtown historic district, so there are no design review restrictions as you update it. It's minutes from downtown Kendallville's shops, restaurants, parks, library, and Bixler Lake, in the East Noble school district. A rare mix of original craftsmanship and meaningful updates.
