A rare opportunity to own over five private acres within the city limits of Fort Wayne. This 1910 farmhouse has been thoughtfully expanded and meticulously maintained, offering a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and over 2,600 square feet, this property is a true hidden gem. Step inside to discover recent updates throughout the entire home, including new flooring, fresh paint, crown molding, and modern fixtures. The interior is now even more inviting, with a tidier, more open feel thanks to the sellers’ recent move-out. The kitchen features GE stainless steel appliances (2019), a reverse osmosis water filtration system, and custom cement countertops with a coordinating island. Both bathrooms have been completely renovated within the last two years, showcasing high-end materials, stone countertops, and stylish vanities. The home has been expanded for additional space and functionality, featuring a covered front porch, a spacious three-season room, and a large deck leading to an above-ground pool (2021)—perfect for outdoor entertaining as the weather warms up. Two of the three bedrooms now feature walk-in closets thanks to a well-planned two-story bump-out addition. Nearly every room has an updated ceiling fan, adding comfort and style throughout. Outside, you'll find the fresh green grass of spring and three large outbuildings—a 40x60 pole barn, a 24x36 barn with a second-floor loft, and a 24x24 workshop with its own electrical service and potbelly stove. The septic system has been regularly serviced, including a recent pump-out (4 months ago) and leach bed treatment last year. The well system provides cost-free water, featuring a newer pump (2022), water softener, and reverse osmosis filtration system for high-quality drinking water. The HVAC system was replaced in 2015 and remains in excellent condition. Whether you're looking for a private homestead, a hobby farm, or a unique investment property, this home offers incredible potential in a prime location.
