Enjoy the quality and character of construction from a bygone era of exceptional craftsmanship. This timeless floor plan meets the needs of every generation. Located in the popular Forest Park-Driving Park historic district, this fine Arts and Crafts style residence has design influences from the Mission/Spanish Revival period and has been lovingly maintained. Few homes of this area have the spacious bedrooms, walk-in closets, 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath, plus a 3 car detached garage. Welcome spring on the enclosed front porch and relax by the true masonry fireplace in winter. Because this home was constructed for and by the famous Fort Wayne general contractor, Frank A. Kintz, it has added features and amenities that highlight the talent of this 3rd generation builder. Specifically, note the exceptional size of the kitchen with original Terrazzo flooring in exceptional condition. Also note the multiple porch projections, barrel tile roof, corbeled brick chimney and original copper parapets - all which have been regularly reviewed and serviced by Dahm Brothers roofing. Step through the solid wood front door to an inviting foyer, open dining area and family room. Live comfortably in every season with the hot water boiler heating system that has been regularly serviced and reviewed by Poorman Heating and Air. The current owner had Poorman add ductwork and install central air conditioning. Should a person decide to finish the spacious walk-up attic, it would be easy to add a furnace to the compressor installed in the attic. Also note the abundance of storage in the basement and the upper level of the garage. Come see this beautiful home with amenities too numerous to list here.
