Nestled among the character of Fort Wayne's historic 46808 neighborhood, this spacious two-story home offers over 1,800 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The main level features inviting living and dining rooms highlighted by beautiful original hardwood floors, providing plenty of space for entertaining or everyday living. The kitchen offers ample cabinet and countertop space for daily living. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a remodeled full bathroom. A full basement provides abundant storage, laundry space, and room for hobbies or a future workshop. Major updates include a new roof, along with a new furnace, central air conditioning, and thermostat installed in 2024, providing added comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the detached two-car garage and backyard offer additional space to enjoy. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Fort Wayne, the University of Saint Francis, parks, shopping, dining, and the River greenway, this home combines timeless character with an ideal location.
Nebraska, located between Spy Run Avenue and North Clinton Street, is a historic and residential Fort Wayne neighborhood with early-20th-century streetscapes and a river-adjacent setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Spy Run Avenue and North Clinton Street corridor, where corner storefronts, light industrial buildings, and steady commuter traffic set an urban, working-city tone. Nearby, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and the historic Embassy Theatre act as cultural anchors for an evening-out routine. Housing reads as a mix of compact cottages, brick foursquares, and small apartment buildings on a tight street grid. Greenway paths and river views shape daily routes, while downtown blocks sit just to the south for dining and events.
