About this home

Completely Updated Home in the Vibrant Wells Street District Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the heart of Fort Wayne’s vibrant Wells Street District. Originally built in 1926, this home blends classic character with the comfort and convenience of a modern renovation, with virtually everything updated within the last four years. The inviting covered front porch sets the tone as you step inside, where you’ll find newer drywall, flooring, windows, lighting, and fresh paint throughout. The updated kitchen is a standout feature, offering new cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, and newer appliances. Both bathrooms have also been thoughtfully remodeled with modern finishes. Upstairs, you’ll find all three bedrooms along with the convenience of second-floor laundry, keeping everyday living simple and efficient. Major updates extend beyond the cosmetics, including new insulation in the walls and attic, an updated furnace and air conditioning system, and a tankless water heater for added efficiency and everyday convenience. Outside, the home continues to impress with a new covered front porch and newer rear deck, creating multiple spaces to enjoy the outdoors. The large backyard sitting area is ideal for a fire pit, entertaining friends, or relaxing on a summer evening. A detached 2-car garage provides valuable parking and storage. With extensive updates throughout, modern mechanical improvements including all new electrical and plumbing, inviting outdoor spaces, and a prime location in the Wells Street District, this home is ready for its next owner to simply move in and enjoy.
