1620 Rock Dove Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46814

Bridgewater is an exceptional Aboite Township neighborhood, spanning the area between Covington and Illinois Road on Fort Wayne’s southwest side of town, just minutes from schools, churches, the Jorgenson YMCA, and other Aboite amenities. The long, covered front porch is a welcoming and functional part of this home’s design. The craftsman-style front door opens to the foyer that features an art niche, the open, iron-trimmed staircase and hard surface flooring. The adjacent dining room has a large window overlooking that great front porch and the same up to date, transitional style lighting that’s seen throughout this home. The dining room opens to the kitchen with Corian countertops, stainless appliances, a large double-door pantry and an eat-in peninsula. The breakfast area flows to the deck via sliders, proving a wonderful flow for daily life and gatherings. (This deck, overlooking the back yard, also has direct access from the master suite). With a gas fireplace and large windows, the living room (partially open to the kitchen) is also beautifully presented. Main level master suite is adjacent to the laundry room and mudroom (which is just off the 3 car garage). With a large corner tub, oversized shower and walk in closet, the master bathroom is awesome. It’s also a great place to notice the upgraded bead-board styled doors (found throughout this home). The 3 upper level bedrooms all have large walk-in closets and are well placed off a landing overlooking the foyer. The front bedroom has a window seat and great architectural ceiling detail. The daylight lower level is ready for the next homeowner to customize - which is a selling point often overlooked. This space is truly a clean-slate with endless possibilities. The area just off the stairs is plumbed for a full bath and the plumbing is also in place for a wet bar or kitchenette. With the large windows, the possibility for a 5th bedroom exists. The concrete floors are clean and smooth, proving to be the perfect candidate for polished concrete floors (a beautiful and easy to care for surface). This home is truly a gem, surrounded by beautiful landscape, great neighbors and other well-presented homes. Other not-to-miss features include the security system, basketball hoop and large play structure in the back yard.
