Fort Wayne, Ind. | $525,500
A 1928 brick house with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms
This property sits across from the Fort Wayne County Club (established in 1908), in a neighborhood developed by brewery executives and other wealthy residents in the early 20th century. It is about four miles west of the central business district and two and a half miles from the Junk Ditch Brewing Company.
Size: 2,940 square feet
Price per square foot: $179
Indoors: A gut renovation completed in 2007 preserved the exterior brick and hardwood floors while creating a new floor plan designed for entertaining. A former sitting room is now the living room, while the living room has become a dining room with an eight-foot-wide fireplace that has a locally made mantel and a rectangular windowed bay that fits a large table. French doors open to a large outdoor deck.
A new entrance leads from the dining room to the eat-in kitchen, which has raised ceilings of almost 10 feet and a custom black walnut-topped island. Windows punched into the rear wall overlook the large backyard. A side door opens to a portico used for outdoor dining. A powder room with a corner sink and taps with crystal handles is off to one side.
Three upstairs bedrooms were combined into a master suite with a walk-in closet and a private bathroom with a claw-foot soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms have the use of a second bathroom. On the lower level are a three-car garage, a mudroom with coat cubbies and extensive storage space.
Outdoor space: The one-acre property is planted with old-growth oak, maple and birch trees and is visited by deer, coyote, bald eagles and hawks. There is a firepit across the lawn, on the site of the original garage.
Taxes: $2,328
