About this home

Commercial Potential!!! Own a rare piece of Fort Wayne history and unlock endless potential, all for under $300,000! The former Washington Schoolhouse is situated on a high visibility corner lot along Coldwater Road with over 25,000 vehicles passing per day. This nearly 1-acre (.96) property offers exceptional visibility and commercial promise in one of the city’s busiest corridors. Originally established in 1878 as Washington School, this charming one-room schoolhouse was converted into a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence and has been a family home from 1978-2022. While the structure is in need of a major renovation, it offers an opportunity to start fresh with character-rich bones ready to be reimagined.
