About this home

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!
