117 E Wayne Street

Crisp, clean & beautifully refreshed home in the heart of downtown Kendallville is completely move-in ready & not to be missed! Welcome home to this historic 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath two-story nestled on a tree-lined street 4 blocks off US-6. Built in 1900, it has since been updated while maintaining the charm & quality craftsmanship of the era—note the solid doors & brass doorhandles! (All major mechanicals, windows, roof & electrical updated 2015; water main from road replaced around same time.) Exterior has special appeal with steps at either end of the covered, recently painted front porch & tiered planters adding color; ceiling fan means you’ll have a cool place to relax outdoors in the summer! Step inside the lovely beveled glass front door into the bright & welcoming main living area; updated wood flooring & light neutral tones complement original wood trim around windows & doors. Spacious living gets lots of natural light & flows through arched doorway into formal dining great for entertaining. The generous, eat-in kitchen is sure to impress with lots of custom cabinets, SS appliances & cozy dining nook. Stylish full bath with modern vanity, wainscoting, tile backsplash & jetted tub/shower combo completes the main level. All 4 bedrooms are upstairs & comfortably sized with unique storage options including some built-ins & sizable closets. One other highlight you’re sure to appreciate: the size of the windows throughout! They are practically floor-to-ceiling, allowing sweeping views & making every room feel just a little bigger & brighter. Upstairs half bath also gets a window & is quite cute though compact. Did we mention the basement!? So much possibility in this large, dry, recently painted space—perhaps a rec room, home gym or 2nd living area? Impressive, oversized detached 24x28 pole barn out back has room for parking, storage &/or a workshop with built-in shelving. (Additional parking on apron, the garage & back are on a low traffic side alley.) There’s also a patio & pergola with partial privacy fence for lounging, dining al fresco or simply enjoying the fall weather! Minutes from local amenities, including dining, shopping & City Park with Bixler Lake; there are also 6 schools from K-12 all within 1.7 miles or less. This home has plenty of character & so much to offer—don’t let it slip away!
