Back on the market, by no fault of the sellers. Come and see this beautiful 4.08 acre property with a single story home on a partial unfinished basement. The property brings privacy along with a beautiful scenery, yet it's close to the Fort Wayne's Children's Zoo, restaurants, & shopping. The home has been well cared for with only two owners. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a large living room with an adjacent activity room/ family room. The mahogany paneled walls and the original shutter doors that enter the activity room bring character and charm to the living space. This home provides everything one needs, and has plenty of space to relax, entertain, and create long lasting memories. The roof is approximately 6 yrs old, the windows are newer. The Furnace was replaced in 2014, the duct work was recently cleaned, and there is a whole home generator. The home is in a Trust and will be sold "As Is". Please see the "As Is" addendum attached. Offer's will be reviewed on Monday May 22nd by the trustees, however the trustees do reserve the right to accept an offer sooner than this date. Thank you for showing this beautiful home!
