This c.1895 gable-front cottage is a classic one-and-half story design and is a true gem tucked away in the Lakeside Historic District. More than $45,000 of extensive exterior renovations carried out in 2023 include a full tear-off and re-roof, installation of new Certainteed vinyl siding, new soffits, fascia, window trim, gutters, and downspouts. The brick chimney has also been rebuilt from the first floor up and has a newly installed cement crown. The concrete driveway offers the convenience of off-street parking and allows space for the construction of a new garage. Modern comforts have been incorporated into this traditional home with the addition of central air in 2022, newer double-hung vinyl windows, granite countertops, marble floors, a walk-in shower, and dual water heaters. Having a bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry facilities on the ground floor in a home of this age and square footage is a rarity, all the more making this home a must-see! You will love the built-in bookshelves, spacious kitchen with walk-in pantry, and lovely screened in porch, which is a great place to enjoy summer evenings with family and friends in this charming and historic neighborhood. This gorgeously manicured property is just a few blocks from Lakeside Park and a short walk from Downtown Fort Wayne, coffee shops, dining, shopping, festivals, museums, farmer’s markets, and trails. This move-in ready home is waiting for you! OPEN HOUSE: SUNDAY 10/6 from 1:00 - 3:00!
