Opportunity to own a truly remarkable Forest Park Blvd masterpiece. This custom-built 1948 residence, designed by and for the original architect, offers timeless character paired with modern enhancements. Recent updates include fresh paint, new high-end laminate kitchen flooring, new carpet and uncovered original hardwood floors in bedrooms. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and nearly 6,000 finished square feet, this home sits on over a half-acre, park-like lot along one of Fort Wayne's most iconic and most-walked boulevards, celebrated for its stately homes, lush canopy, and classic charm. Step inside the grand entry, where sunlight pours into the formal living and dining rooms, each offering beautiful views. The oversized great room impresses with new flooring, cherry wood trim and ceiling detail, and a wood-burning fireplace with gas conversion, framed by a wall of windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard, equipped with a garden shed and large all sports court including basketball hoops and lighting. Just off the great room is a large second family room, offering flexible use for play or lounging with easy access to the oversized back patio featuring a new Weber grill with gas connection, professionally installed custom awning and freshly painted exterior in 2024. The kitchen boasts custom Grabill cabinetry, new laminate flooring, a professional grade Frigidaire range and butler's pantry. The upper level hosts four generously sized bedrooms, including a custom primary retreat featuring an ensuite bath, walk-in closet, private office, second laundry area, and a dedicated craft/sewing room. The primary suite enjoys the best view in the home, an elevated perspective of the meticulously maintained private grounds. The basement delivers even more potential with finished space featuring rosewood paneling and a fully concrete structure - walls, floors, and ceiling - creating an ideal safe room, gym, gaming space, or workshop. This is a rare chance to own a landmark Forest Park Blvd residence - rich in architectural significance, impeccably maintained, and thoughtfully updated for today's living.
