Take a peek inside and out, at this charming 5 bed, 4.5+ bath property in the beloved Covington Lake Estates neighborhood in Southwest Allen County/Fort Wayne within the award-winning SACS school district. You're first greeted with gorgeous mature trees, landscaping, and scenery surrounding this classic 5,518 sq ft English Tudor as you drive up the welcoming circle drive. As you enter the front double-door entrance you will find a two-story foyer featuring a lovely curved staircase. To the left of the foyer, is an inviting private office suite with a separate powder room. Beyond the foyer to the back of the home, you enter the large yet cozy great room with an abundance of custom woodwork, a vaulted ceiling and a warm fireplace just in time for winter! A charming, custom wet bar is nestled in the corner, great for hosting guests and parties and just to enjoy yourself. Off the great room you'll find a spacious screened porch with another vaulted ceiling and lots of beautiful, rustic, reclaimed barn lumber, looking out to the private, tree-lined, and professionally landscaped backyard. The breakfast room and kitchen are right off the great room, screened porch, and dining room where you will find all newly updated appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a very wide custom window over the sink looking out onto the backyard and bringing in much natural light. Head upstairs from the front foyer or your back staircase off the kitchen to find the primary suite with a massive walk-in closet and a recently updated ensuite bath. Located conveniently down the hallway from the main bedroom, are the additional 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There is a great deal of walk-in attic storage space off the second floor as well. Offering even more entertaining space in the basement, you'll enjoy a large recreational room with new carpet and an updated wet bar off a tv/media area. This traditional home, with character in every corner, has been meticulously maintained by these original owners for over 40 years. Conveniently located within a 10-15 drive to the airport and right on the 130+ mile FW trails system, this home is near all that downtown & SW Fort Wayne have to offer, from fine dining & shopping centers to 3 country clubs and many more little gems unique to our fabulous town!
