1411 Dodge Avenue

A wonderful opportunity to own a historic home with large fenced back yard in the popular ’05 district! Located in a fantastic neighborhood not far from Crescent Ave & just north of E State Blvd with many nearby amenities. Built in 1925, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is in good condition but it does need some TLC & is being sold as-is—cash or conventional financing only with possession on the day of closing. Impressive 2 story exterior features stately columns & a deep inviting front porch perfect for relaxing in the shade or hanging with friends. Inside you’ll find a bright & welcoming atmosphere complemented by a neutral color palette & white trim. Generous main living room gets plenty of natural light from big picture windows with stairs leading up & a ceiling fan to keep air flowing. Wide doorway links the dining room allowing everyone to still be together. Updated in 2013 the intimate kitchen has everything you need with abundant cabinetry & door to back yard; all kitchen appliances plus washer & dryer remain. Both bedrooms are upstairs & uniquely shaped with angular ceilings & ample storage throughout. The bathroom is also up here with a hard surface modern vanity & newer tub/shower combo. Basement was waterproofed in 2020 and is an excellent spot for dry storage. Laundry is down here as are utilities; furnace & central AC are both estimated at 10 years old. Back yard feels expansive & is completely enclosed by a chain link fence with a partial section of 6’ privacy fence running down to the alley behind the house on one side. Tons of space for outdoor fun & activities, with the right vision you can create your own back yard oasis! As for parking, there is a small driveway that runs along the side of the house in addition to a side door entrance or you can park at the end of the back yard outside the fence along the alley on the grass or the small gravel apron. Neighborhood is great for strolling with Sweet Cream Bakery & Coffrey, ACME by Full Circle, a’Roma Pizza, Klemm’s Candlelight Cafe & The Village Tap mere blocks away. Allen County Public Library Tecumseh & Northside Park Swimming Pool/Tennis Courts/Disc Golf Course are also quite close. Convenient area means easy access to the River Greenway & Lakeside Park as well as Headwaters, Promenade Park & downtown Fort Wayne. Are you ready to see the possibilities in this special home?
