314 W Woodland Avenue

Accepted Offer- Accepting backup offers. Located in the historic ’07 in Williams Woodland Park, this thoughtfully renovated 2,200+ finished sq./ft. American Foursquare-style home was originally built for the President of WM Nussbaum & Co. – one of Fort Wayne’s original manufacturers of electrical machinery (note the commemorative plaque in the sidewalk). The brick & wood shingle exterior and multi-pane windows are a stately background for the entry porch with full-length front terrace. The showcase foyer has an amazing hand-crafted wood staircase with window bench, coat closet and front door mail slot with wire basket. Note the original lions head door knocker! The grand living room has a ventless (updated) gas fireplace flanked by a French door and mini patio on one side and built-in bookshelves on the other. The bay windows in this room and the formal dining room are gorgeous – including the windows above the dining room cubby for a buffet hutch. The tall ceilings on the main floor, coffered ceiling in the formal dining room and tin ceiling in the kitchen keep in form with the early 1900’s decorum. The updated kitchen has a separate food prep station, an adorable open pantry, subway tile backsplash and back door to a covered porch with views of the detached brick garage (with alley access). A renovated ½ bath completes the main level. The original ‘summer kitchen’ can be found in the unfinished basement (currently not in use), along with the home’s mechanicals, plenty of storage space and the original washer & dryer hookup (still functional). Upstairs, an adorable library with built-in shelves makes a great reading nook. The double-wide hallway has plenty of room for a bench or armoire, plus a large hall closet has been renovated into the upper level laundry area with a washer/dryer combo unit (included). All 3 upper level bedrooms have ceiling fans and are near the newly renovated full bath with tile shower (also plumbed for a tub). Bedroom 3 has an exterior door to a 2nd level balcony AND a secret door to the newly renovated 3rd level – with soft grey dormer walls and brand-new plush carpet. This large space would make a great family room or home office. Williams Woodland Park is a wonderful ’07 neighborhood with caring neighbors and historic charm, close to the newly built Fort Wayne Boys & Girls Club, walking distance to several churches and just a few minutes from downtown Fort Wayne.
