Welcome to this charming family home located in Northeast Fort Wayne’s Arlington Park which is famous for its 15-mile network of bike paths and jogging trails. This property backs up to a fun sidewalk intersection next to two playgrounds and a basketball court. This residence was built in 1985 on a 0.23 acre lot on a quiet street. The delightful two-story-on-basement offers 4BR/2.5BA, an attached, insulated 420 sq. ft. 2 car garage, and over 3090 sq ft of living space to enjoy. The three skylights in the master BR and new 30 yr roof were replaced Aug 2024. An original distinctive upgrade extends the kitchen eating area to allow a long table to welcome numerous guests next to a wine bar cabinet, sink and small refrigerator. Then walk out onto a wood deck (replaced July 2024) to a gently sloping back yard bordered by various trees and garden areas. Due to the playgrounds, the next house directly behind the deck is over 350 feet away across a small creek. The eating area opens into the family room then to a three-season room in which both doors were replaced in recent years. The remaining 1st floor dining room and living room floors had ¾” solid cherry wood installed in 2015. All 1st and 2nd story flooring was replaced in 2015 and includes the same cherry wood in the master BR as well as carpet and vinyl tile. All walls and ceilings (except garage and basement utility area) were painted in 2015. Arlington Park has 7 miles of streets through 575 acres to 1,080 homes surrounding 71 acres of common ground including a 40 acre 9-hole golf course, 6 playgrounds, 3 basketball courts, 7 tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts, 3 swimming pools and 15 acres of ponds and lakes. The clubhouse offers pool tables, racquetball/wallyball courts, a meeting room, resident center and a rentable ballroom. During pool season the clubhouse provides a snack bar and indoor seating area. The most recent monthly newsletter will be left at the home for the buyer to see. The Arlington Park Board has coordinated upgrades and maintenance to the common areas, sidewalk network and lighting very well throughout the years.
