Property Description
*Open House rescheduled to Wednesday, Dec 29th from 4-6 PM* Flooring allowance of $5000 at closing! This Fort Wayne foursquare is steps away from gorgeous Foster park which is rich in history, scenery, and activities and a few minutes drive from the new Electric Works campus, Parkview Field, and Downtown. Most of the heavy lifting is done and is ready for your finishing touches. Brand new professionally engineered walkway, stairs, and front patio surrounded by new landscaping leads to the new storm door and freshly painted interior door. Jack Laurie flooring in the entryway and kitchen which also features new cabinets, sink, and countertops. New stairs lead to the basement which has two rooms (one of which could easily be finished), a work bench, a new sump pump, and a utility sink in the laundry area. The central air and furnace were updated in 2003 and the furnace was serviced and cleaned last week. All new electrical wiring throughout the home with an updated 200 AMP panel PLUS a 220 in the garage which has it's own panel, a wired heating unit, additional overhead storage, and it's been drywalled. The entire home, inside and out, has just been painted with high-quality, durable paint with the extra left behind for your post-move touch ups. The new, tear-off roof was completed in 2009 with 30-year shingles on the house and the garage roof was done in 2010. The charming firepit is ready for those still-to-be-had milder evenings as a large stock of well-cured firewood stays with the home. The ample dining room with crown molding flows seamlessly into the large family room featuring gorgeous original woodwork and a unique, aesthetically dramatic steel ceiling. No narrow hallways here; this home has a lovely landing which is warmed by natural light and built-in linen storage and leads to the bathroom and all three bedrooms. The bathroom has a new tub, surround, shower curtain, and pedestal sink as well as a large, shelved linen area. The attic has pull-down stairs on the landing and is floored for all your storage needs. Outstanding neighbors, beautiful neighborhood, and the generous association dues of $20/year include free potting soil each spring, "big trash" pick up day, and free use of larger, expensive outdoor equipment such as hedge trimmers, etc.
