5470 Buffalo Road

Welcome to 5470 Buffalo Road in Bertrand Township, a thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on about 5.6 acres. Since 2019 the owners have reworked this home from top to bottom. It's truly something to see!
At the heart of the home is a large living room with wood floors, a fireplace, built-in shelves and a large picture window. It flows into a eat-in kitchen with KraftMaid cabinets, black stainless appliances, and a tile backsplash and an island with seating. The kitchen is made for everyday meals and for having everyone over.
Next to it, the laundry/mudroom has tile floors, a deep utility sink and direct access to the covered porch. A very functional space for everyday life.
The primary suite is a true retreat. The bedroom has hardwood floors, crown molding, wide baseboards and shaker-style doors. The private bath has slate-look porcelain tile, a double vanity, a walk-in closet and a walk-in shower with dual showerheads. You round off the main level with a second bedroom that has hardwood floors and a custom closet system, a third room with French doors works well as a bedroom or home office and tiled walk-in shower finishes the second bath.
Below the main level is an unfinished basement with multiple sump pumps and a professionally installed radon mitigation system. It also has an Everdry system that carries a transferable lifetime warranty. Big updates are already done: a newer furnace and water heater, a roof about 10 years old and a whole-house automatic backup generator. The 400-amp electrical service is set for anything you dream up.
Outside is where this property shines. Beyond the attached garage you will find a detached workshop with foam-insulated walls, an epoxy floor, a mini-split for heating and cooling, and custom live-edge wood accents. It's ready for a hobbyist, a craftsman or a home business, and a third bay gives you room for the mower, the toys or the tools.
You get country living without giving up convenience. Downtown Buchanan is just minutes away, with local shops, restaurants, coffee, breweries and community events all year. Nearby Niles has more dining and shopping. South Bend and the University of Notre Dame are a short drive across the state line, so football Saturdays, concerts and the South Bend airport are all easy to reach. When the weekend comes, you can spend it on the St. Joseph River, at the wineries and farm markets along the Southwest Michigan wine trail, or on the Lake Michigan beaches less than an hour away. And when you need the big city, Chicago is an easy day trip.
