2812 Roscommon Dr

They don’t build them like this anymore! This magnificently renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home of 2918 square feet sits on a third of an acre in the cozy Kirkwood Park neighborhood. With quick access to downtown, shopping at Kroger and Glenbrook Square, and a short walk to PFW, the location offers all the convenience of the centrally-located ’05. Built in 1969, the house stands halfway along quiet Roscommon Drive. Behind a stately brick façade and semi-private porch is a thoroughly updated interior. All-new flooring with acoustic underlayment and the obligatory fresh coat of paint in every room compliment perfectly the rich original woodworking. A spacious open-concept atrium leads to the kitchen, which features stylishly updated countertops, tile backsplash, granite composite sink, and stainless-steel appliances (with notable exception of the built-like-a-tank Kelvinator stove kept in place under a modern range hood). Adjacent to the dining area lies a royally outfitted study, backed by vibrant walnut shelving, studio-grade acoustic panels, and a gas fireplace. The main passthrough gives way to a large, bright living area blooming with natural light. Upstairs, a totally remodeled bathroom sports the same striking white-and-wood aesthetic found throughout the house, as seen in the floating teakwood cabinetry and curved pearl tub. A new garage door, new washer and dryer, new air conditioning unit, and fresh landscaping are just a few of the myriad improvements made to complement the home’s ample amenities, not least of which are a wide two-car garage, fenced-in yard, and ensuite master bath. It even has an attic fan to pull fresh air into the house on those cool summer nights after an evening around the corner at Lion’s Park. Perfection! As they say, the early bird gets the worm. Act now, and don’t miss your chance to own this gem of a property in the absolute best location in Fort Wayne!
