Commercial Potential!!! Own a rare piece of Fort Wayne history and unlock endless potential, all for under $300,000! Situated on a high-traffic corner lot along Coldwater Road, this nearly 1-acre (. 96) property offers exceptional visibility and commercial promise in one of the city’s busiest corridors. Originally established in 1878 as Washington School, this charming one-room schoolhouse was converted into a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence and has been a family home from 1978-2022. While the structure is in need of a major renovation, it offers an opportunity to start fresh with character-rich bones ready to be reimagined.
The Single Family Residential district is intended to create and maintain areas for single family residential uses on individual lots or tracts and to provide for a variety of areas for single family neighborhoods, along with certain additional uses.
