10112 Circlewood Dr, Fort Wayne, IN 46804

This stately Forest Ridge home sits on a corner lot bordered by a trickling creek that runs under a wood plank bridge at the base of the driveway. The dead-end road, from which the driveway arises, feels like a private entrance to the side-entry garage. The lot is a perfect mix of shade and sun with lush grass, established trees and beautiful gardens. The covered front porch, a perfectly private place to sit, is a nice alternative to the large outdoor living space in the back that includes a large covered patio, deck and fire pit area. Inside, the slate tile foyer opens to the most amazing wide plank hardwood floors that grace the living room and dining room. The living room offers a great deal of space, a fireplace and a large picture window. From the dining room, views of both the back and front yards can be appreciated and those hardwood floors work with any decor. The large kitchen offers a great deal of work and storage space, including a large pantry and breakfast area that opens to the outdoor living areas. Beyond the kitchen, and off the foyer, is an incredible office with a private entry to the covered patio space. This office, with fresh paint, wood floors and a fireplace (recently inspected & cleaned) is a fresh space and right on trend. Upstairs an attic fan can be appreciated by all 4 bedrooms. The master suite offers side and back yard views, a walk in closet and a walk-through shower that leads to a private dressing room/closet with built-in organizational systems, a sink and an elegant light fixture. With access off the hallway, this dressing room/closet is very convenient. Bedrooms 2 (with a niche for a desk) and 3 (with walk-in attic access) each have a great deal of space, large closets and access to the full bathroom off the hall. The finished lower level's wood plank ceilings give the family room a nice, finished look. The large laundry room, while in an unfinished part of this lower level, offers so much space to work! Beyond the laundry room, a large work shop awaits with cabinetry on 3 walls, metal countertops and a peg board wall. The workshop is certainly a hidden gem in this home. Within the last 9-10 years the windows & roof have been replaced & the exterior paint updated.
