Picture 12 of your favorite people pulling into the driveway. Kids tumbling out, grandparents bringing up the rear, cousins you haven't seen in years. Inside, the house exhales. The screening room is cued up for movie night. The hot tub is heating. The fire pit waits for whoever claims it after dinner. Tonight: three games of pool, two arguments over the remote, one perfect group photo nobody planned. This is the trip everyone shows up early for next year.
Here's the thing about 12 people in one house: usually someone gets stuck. Someone ends up on a fold-out, sleeping on the floor, or feeling like they came up short. That doesn't happen here. Five bedrooms means everyone has a real bed and a door that closes. Three living rooms means no one fights for a couch. Four distinct zones (screening room, game room, hot tub, fire pit) give everyone somewhere to be.
★ OUTDOORS The propane fire pit anchors the back patio with plenty of seating including a folding Adirondack lounger. Two 6-person dining sets handle dinners that spill outside. The hot tub is a few steps away, ready by 9 PM for whoever needs a quiet hour. In summer, this is where the trip becomes the trip.
★ THREE LIVING ROOMS The 155-inch U-shape sectional is the main gathering space. Fifteen feet of cloud-soft chenille, room for everyone to stretch out without touching feet. A 6-piece modular sectional in black corduroy handles the spillover crowd. A leather sofa and loveseat creates a quiet third zone for readers, coffee drinkers, and early risers.
★ SCREENING ROOM The secret weapon. A dedicated theater space, separate from the main living areas. Movie night for the kids while the adults are at the fire pit. Football replays on a slow Sunday morning. A specific room for the specific thing.
★ GAME ROOM A 7-foot Hall of Games pool table that holds the afternoons hostage. Around it: Jenga Giant, Giant Tic Tac Toe, the 4Score jumbo set, and framed movie art (Star Wars, LOTR, Fast & Furious, Jaws) on the walls. It's where the cousins end up first and rarely leave.
★ BEDROOMS Five in total. Four with King beds for the adult couples. One Queens room with two beds for siblings, cousins, or teenagers traveling together. Everyone gets a real bed and a real door.
★ BATHROOMS Four full bathrooms mean the morning rotation actually works. No one stands outside a door tapping their foot at 8:45 AM.
★ KITCHEN Fully stocked for the cooking 12 people generate. A gas range for the actual cooks, a dedicated coffee bar for the early crew, dinner prep that can happen with four people in the room without anyone bumping elbows.
★ THE BASICS WiFi throughout the house, central air, three smart TVs (upstairs living room, game room, theater room), washer and dryer, and parking for six cars (two in the garage, four in the driveway).
★ WHO THIS HOME IS FOR This home is built for groups who want everyone to actually fit. A few who land here often:
→ Multi-generational families. Grandparents claim a downstairs King, parents take one upstairs, the kids ping-pong between the game room and the hot tub.
→ Extended family reunions. Kids loud in one room while the adults talk in another.
→ Notre Dame parents and alumni weekends. Walking distance to campus means no parking dance on Saturdays. Drop the bags and walk.
→ Milestone trips and wedding parties. Anniversaries with a destination, bridal-party mornings, retirement weekends. Three living rooms and four bathrooms mean there's room for everything.
