6 Bedroom House in West Central, Fort Wayne

3-4 floor historic home in beautiful West Central Fort Wayne that is less than a mile to downtown Fort Wayne...120yo home with central air conditioning/heating rehabbed with modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable. <1mi to all the landmarks of downtown FW.
3000sf home (basement/1st/2nd flr) is a great home to have family gatherings. Large tiled front porch is great for people watching.
Adult game room (3-in-1 pool/ping pong/push hockey) & kiddie room (w/chalkboard wall+train table) in the basement. 700sf attic is a hangout/tv/gaming area with Xbox/foosball for teens/tweens/young adults. Attic = EXTRA CHARGE $150
8.3 miles (15 - 20 min) to FW Airport.
Because it is near downtown, most destinations in FW <15-20 minutes.
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING/TOBACCO/ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY. I have guests with medical issues staying here because there is no smoking. Please don't book this house if you have any smokers in your group.
If you move furniture/bedding, please return to original space at check-out.
To ensure house rules are followed & to prevent unpaid guests from staying, exterior/common interior cameras are being installed. IF MORE GUESTS ARE FOUND TO STAY OVER WHAT IS BOOKED (WE HAVE CAMERAS TO VERIFY), THE RATE FOR EXTRA GUESTS WILL BE CHARGED AT $45/person/night.
2-3 car snow melt driveway/walkways
Break house rules = $250 forfeit from SECURITY DEPOSIT
A gentle reminder that this is a large home and the cost of upkeep/utilities is the same regardless of group size. Rentals for large groups must reflect the number of individuals staying in the property as I cannot allow significant discounts. Please be respectful of this.
there is also a sectional sleeper sofa with full-sized mattress.
ALL mattresses and pillowcases have been encased to prevent bedbugs, allergens, and are waterproof.
HOUSE LAYOUT:
I decided to write up layout of the bedrooms/beds and available options so you can make a better decision on who goes where, etc. I’ve named the bedrooms to avoid confusion.
So the ground floor/1st floor has a small bedroom (Fairfield) with a queen bed. It has a full bathroom as well. So it’s like a very small master suite. To get to this bathroom, you must walk through Fairfield bedroom. Fairfield is next to the kitchen; hence, it is ideal for anyone with mobility concerns.
The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms. 2 of the bedrooms have connecting smaller bedrooms. One bedroom (Wayne) is quite large & has 2 queen beds in this room. There is a sliding door in Wayne that leads to another small bedroom (Union) with twin bunk beds. Union is about 80sf. Union also has its own door to the hallway as well.
There is a small bedroom (Ewing) with a queen bed. It’s about 110sf. No connecting rooms. Softer bed.
Lastly, there is Van Buren room with a queen bed. This room connects to the solarium (Harrison). The solarium (100sf) has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. To get to Harrison from the hallway, you must walk through Van Buren.
In addition, I have finished the attic. There is a 4th bathroom in the attic. Each floor has 1 full bathroom. The attic has a full-sized futon. So if someone wants to stay up here, it is possible. I do have to charge a bit more - mostly to cover the housekeeper cleaning fee as it is another 700 sf. But with larger groups, it does allow for people to spread out more comfortably.
If you want to use the attic, there will be a one time charge of $150 to cover housekeeping & utilities. But you can also decide after you arrive & check out the house. I will send you all the door codes just before you check-in.

Summary: We totally enjoyed our five day stay in this beautifully restored historic home. It served as a comfortable "home base" as we actively re-discovered our hometown! The central location was perfect for our family and close to our childhood church,....and Coney Is and Henrys and Museums and parks and shopping and the library (genealogy). A great find for future trips to FT Wayne!!!

Summary: My family and I rented this home for a weekend, and it was everything we had hoped for! We’ve always admired the historic downtown area but never had the opportunity to see inside one of these old homes. The host has done a tremendous job restoring / maintaining the beauty of this old mansion. We had absolutely everything we needed while we stayed, and everyone was entertained all weekend. We had cousins visit during the day, and the kids all had so much fun with the variety of games - pool, foosball, ping pong, video games, and even a little play area for the younger kids. We greatly appreciated the separation of recyclable items into paper v cans/bottles v rubbish, and the classic reuse of paper bags, plastic bags, and the offer of pulling from the stockpile of clean plastic containers to take leftovers along with us. The location was excellent, with easy driving to everywhere we wanted to go, and was even walking distance to our favorite hangout - Coney Island. Plus ample parking in the driveway on College. Communication with the property owner was easy and supportive. We have found our go-to place next time we visit!

Summary: This historic home was perfect for our family's gathering! This home graciously provided ample space for our family to gather and allowed us to really enjoy our time together. The bedrooms were well-sized for our needs and the beds were comfortable. The home was only a few minutes away from outings to the Fort Wayne Zoo, the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservancy, and the Children's Science Central museum. Thank-you to the host for making your lovely home available to us!

Summary: 5 high school friends (we are now close to 60 years old) get together every summer for a baseball weekend. The house and location were great! Close to the stadium/breweries/bars (and Starbucks for breakfast). Host was tremendous to work; very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this historic house for families and groups visiting Fort Wayne.

Summary: A beautiful, spacious, and comfortable home with timeless stateliness and beauty along with highly functioning modern updates. The breezes while lounging on the large front porch or in the back garden were a welcome respite from the sun. Our boys enjoyed the game rooms of the basement and 3rd floors. Each bedroom was comfortable and the bathrooms boasted excellent water pressure and immediately hot water. The air conditioning was abundant, which kept us cool. The dining room was spacious and the kitchen had every appliance you could want. Though there was a hiccup with access at check in, both VRBO and the home host worked efficiently to resolve. The home was clean, safe, and very conveniently located for heading to downtown eateries or running out for groceries. We were well cared for. We highly recommend this home and would happily stay here again!

Summary: The house was very nice. The check in was a disaster and the owner could not be reached. VRBO did not have a phone number to reach her.

Summary: This home is immaculate and gorgeous. The host is very responsive and kind. The neighborhood is safe and beautiful. If you have time take a stroll to see the many historical homes and unique architecture. You will immediately appreciate the care and originality of the home's heritage. My grandchildren loved the playroom. There is a space and privacy for all. This will be our go to place when we visit Ft. Wayne again.
