About this home

Located near Fort Wayne’s vibrant Wells Street Corridor, this spacious home offers character, versatility, and investment potential all in one! Featuring 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this property includes two generous living areas, a formal dining room, and a large screened-in back porch perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The unfinished basement even includes an additional bathroom area, offering extra possibilities for future use or storage. Outside, you’ll find a fenced-in yard and a detached 2-car garage with a valuable bonus — a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment above the garage that is currently rented with tenants under lease through December 2026, providing immediate income potential. Important updates include a new furnace (2022), new water heater(2023)in the main home, new furnace in the apartment, and most apartment appliances are less than 6 years old. The garage and porch roof were complete tear-offs in 2022. Four ceiling fans and three window air conditioning units are newer and will remain with the property. Conveniently located near downtown Fort Wayne, local restaurants, shopping, and the popular Wells Street district, this property combines space, charm, and opportunity. Home is being sold as-is. The last 8 pics are of the apartment prior to tenants moving in. FYI - This home is in a "moderate income" census track and therefore, depending on buyers credit, might be eligible for down payment and closing costs assistance.
