Do you have a love for Fort Wayne mayoral history? Do you love old homes that have been meticulously maintained and beautifully updated in one of Fort Wayne’s most desirable neighborhoods? Here’s your chance to own a piece of both! This 3 bed, 2.5 bath charmer is the former home to one of Fort Wayne’s most prominent and nationally known figures, Mayor Harry W. Baals. This home’s heritage is as full and rich as the house itself. The landscaping and brick façade, in addition to being situated on 1.5 lots, gives the exterior the curb appeal and space to be the envy of the neighborhood. Inside, you’ll find nearly 3000 finished square feet of spacious rooms and an open kitchen and dining room that are perfect for hosting holidays and parties. Did I mention that the kitchen is newly renovated and the stainless steel appliances stay? The main floor bedrooms are spacious and the upstairs bedroom suite offers cathedral ceilings, a full bath and walk-in closet. In the finished basement, you’ll find a relaxing area to spend your time and unwind. The basement also boasts half bath and laundry room. In the back of the house you can lounge with a book in the sunroom and overlook the backyard, which is an oasis that sports a running water feature that you’ll be sure to enjoy. Also, the attached garage is a benefit that few houses in the area have. In addition to the kitchen, the current owners have refinished the hardwood floors, added a metal roof with gutter guards and had a new garage threshold poured. Such a well cared for house in Fort Wayne’s coveted ‘07 zip code is quite a rare gem in itself. Add the history of the house and all of the versatility it offers, this home is sure to go fast!
