It&#8217;s listed with RE\/MAX 1st for $199,900. It&#8217;s last sale was for $259,900 in September 2005. The sellers had listed it for an ambitious $370,000 in July 2003 and slowly worked their way down to the selling price.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"kitchen photo from a foreclosed home near South Bend Indiana\" href=\"http:\/\/realst8.com\/images\/12599-dragoon\/kitchen1.JPG\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"kitchen photo from a foreclosed home near South Bend Indiana\" src=\"http:\/\/realst8.com\/images\/12599-dragoon\/kitchen1.JPG\" alt=\"kitchen photo from a foreclosed home near South Bend Indiana\" width=\"216\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath 2,500 sq ft ranch with a finished basement. It was built in 1977 and while the outside, which is brick, looks great, the interior is dated. The bedrooms have vivid carpets that most owners would want to change. The kitchen looks functional though it shows its age. The lower level is a great space, with built-in cabinets and a large fireplace, but lacks the modern touch. \u00c2\u00a0The house appears to be well-maintained, simply out of fashion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"Basement from a 1970's Brick Ranch in Mishawaka IN\" src=\"http:\/\/realst8.com\/images\/12599-dragoon\/bsmt.JPG\" alt=\"Basement from a 1970's Brick Ranch in Mishawaka IN\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" \/>The best part of the house is the open space in the living area. It has high ceilings, a large\u00c2\u00a0fireplace, many windows and doors to the pool. It&#8217;s also open to the kitchen, so the layout is modern even if the finishes are not.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"Living Room in a South Bend Area Foreclosure\" src=\"http:\/\/realst8.com\/images\/12599-dragoon\/living.JPG\" alt=\"Living Room in a South Bend Area Foreclosure\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" \/>The house sits on 7.5 acres, and is completely screened from the street by a wall of arbor vitaes. It was snowy during my visit, but it looks to have a private soccer field in addition to the pool and open land.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View of 12599 Dragoon in Mishawaka IN from the street\" href=\"http:\/\/realst8.com\/images\/12599-dragoon\/from-street.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"View of 12599 Dragoon in Mishawaka IN from the street\" src=\"http:\/\/realst8.com\/images\/12599-dragoon\/from-street.jpg\" alt=\"View of 12599 Dragoon in Mishawaka IN from the street\" width=\"448\" height=\"256\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of three foreclosures on acreage I toured today.
