Property Description
This is a cash-only purchase or contract possible w/flexible terms for a well-qualified buyer. A rare opportunity for country living in the outskirts of town - just minutes to major shopping and Fort Wayne. Currently rented and generating a steady income with renters in place until June 2027, giving you ample time to ponder your dream plans, living arrangements, familial living or just a place to invest and continue renting. The newly installed private winding driveway leads you to the oversized 2.5 car detached garage with an overhead door on both ends allowing you to drive-through for immediate access to the fenced yard and blacktop driveway with ample room for more parking. The 2nd driveway on the other side of the home allows access through a gate into the fenced yard or take you down the length of the property. The privacy fenced area links all three structures (house, garage and outbuilding), creating a secure, multi-zone outdoor living space. Stepping into this enclosed sanctuary feels like entering a private, open-air extension of the home itself. The privacy fence is made of 1x6 boards and is designed to capture seclusion where you can host summer barbecues, let the dog run free, keep children in a safe and secure environment or just relax by the firepit. This unique property features an updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with large windows that fill the open-concept kitchen and living room with beautiful natural light and amazing views of your land. The split-bedroom layout ensures excellent privacy for the main suite, which boasts its own full bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Recent updates include flooring, fresh paint, water heater, water softener, deck, privacy fence, new roof on the garage PLUS an additional garage door so you can easily drive through to the fenced in yard. For extra storage and hobbies, the property is unrivaledoffering and a separate bonus outbuilding / workspace complete with a one car garage door on one side and a huge workshop area on the other perfect for hobbies, tools or a home business. The workshop area already has LP hook up, electric hook up for a dryer, a place for a wood burner and is on its own electric meter and a window air conditioning. This outbuilding is not part of the lease. Whether you want to build, farm, play, or sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet, this property is the one.
