1514 S Hadley Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46804

New roof in September of 14', along with a 30 year warranty on the shingles. Hadley Road, on Fort Wayne’s Southwest side of town, has quick access to I69 and both Covington and Illinois Road, yet is a beautiful street with larger lot homes and established trees. This home, sitting back from the road and on a slight hill, offers 1.38 acres of great land. The true divided-light windows (many bayed windows) offer great views of the yard and are noteworthy in every room. The front of this ranch, built on a slab, has a window-box lined, long and deep porch that offers access to both the front door and to the mudroom. The front door opens to the foyer with the original 1954 stained glass sidelights and tile floors that extend through the adjacent dining room. The dining room’s windows, like most in this home, extend down within feet of the floor, and are surrounded by the detailed wainscot. The formal living room, also off the foyer, has a fireplace, large windows and french doors to the 3 season room (exposed brick, glass louvered windows), offering a configuration great for gatherings. The kitchen and breakfast area has the original cabinets, offering a tremendous amount of character, an exposed brick wall, stainless appliances and a granite countertop. It’s a beautifully done mix of old and new. The laundry room also shares the exposed brick wall and offers a great deal of space. The family room, with the home’s 2nd fireplace, has built-in book shelves, a private powder room and direct access to the 3 season room & back patio. Spanning the depth of the house, this room has both front and back yard views. The mudroom area is off this family room. The bedroom “wing” of the home can be closed off near the foyer, offering a great deal of privacy for the master suite and bedroom 2 (which has a french door to a private patio and a large bump-out with windows on 2 sides). Other not-to-miss features include the patios of pavers, original bathroom tiles with great history and charm, leaded glass windows, tasteful ( & original) chandeliers, copper awnings and cupola, oversized garage and the circle drive.
