About this House

This charmer has it all. Enjoy peace of mind with a 5 year old roof, Vinyl Max windows, brand new kitchen appliances, and a furnace less than a year old plus a gas wall heater backup for emergencies. Outside you’ll find a big backyard with off street parking and a shed for storage. Centrally located and perfectly positioned for convenience: just ½ mile from Promenade Park, 1 mile from Fort Wayne TinCaps Field, 1.5 miles from Electric Works, and steps from Bloomingdale Elementary, walk your kids to school! The major systems are already updated. With a little cosmetic love, this one can truly be amazing. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours!

    "I think it's a low-key pocket of Fort Wayne that's on the upswing. New businesses continue to open and soon the Promenade Park will open and give the neighborhood more momentum. Plus the Rescue is moving further away from the area, and I think that's a good thing."
