3702 Crawford Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46845

Crawford Road ends as it heads west, and a bit before it dead-ends there is a long, winding drive to this home. Still within the Carroll School district, this home has a very private lot with a great deal of land. The circular drive in front of the home is quite convenient, as is the 3 car, side entry garage. This home has two noteworthy porches: The first is the long, wrap-around front porch which is a great architectural detail that provides a great deal of space for gathering. The front entry off this porch leads to the foyer with beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout the main living area of the first floor. The dining room has two large windows and opens to the foyer. Behind frosted french doors, the library has built-in bookshelves, crown moulding and simply beautiful floors. The open concept kitchen flows to the hearth room and to the very large breakfast area. With stainless appliances (including a Jenn-air 6 burner + griddle cook top), a large stainless hood, a walk-in pantry, and a peninsula that comfortably seats 5, the kitchen is right on-trend. The breakfast area, currently seating 6, could be the perfect area for a long harvest table. The home’s second noteworthy porch is right off the breakfast area: this screened in porch is fantastic and provides access to the patio and pond beyond. With a grand stone fireplace, the hearth room is fantastic. The main level master suite, behind double french doors, has an elegant master bathroom with a large tub, tile & glass shower, and nice vanities. Even the walk-in closet has shelving to match the custom cabinetry. Upstairs, bedrooms 2-5 are all comfortable spaced off the landing. Both full bathrooms are attractively up-to-date. The finished lower level has a kitchenette with a bar and eating area, a billiard area and a family room. The home’s 6th bedroom is on this lower level, in addition to an exercise room and a full bath. Outside, the hardscape is exceptional. Don’t miss the oversized slate stones that make the beautiful walk-ways and even the front porch step. Landscaping has been well planned around the back patio of pavers. The pond has been enjoyed for years as a place to play ice hockey. Invisible fence extends from circular drive to the berms beyond the pond. GAS $11 ELECTRIC $299 WATER $62
