1225 W 4th Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46808

Is it small? Yes. Is it in need of work? Also yes. Don't be scared. It's no nightmare - this isn't Elm Street. You won't have to dig into the solid foundation to find where the bodies are buried; you can see the good bones of this house from the moment you enter.

You won't need your chainsaw or sledgehammer here- a little paint and flooring will go a long way. If carpet or vinyl makes you feel like Serial Mom, you're in luck! The original hardwood is in tact and it wouldn't take much to refinish it once you sand off the white layer...it is after Labor Day, after all.

You'll be impressed with the basement which could easily be finished into two or three additional rooms, multiple torture chambers, or a lovely, roomy dungeon. Your larger-than-average back yard is a blank slate just begging for bonfires, chanting, and howling at the moon. Keep your cars, cauldrons, and concoctions comfortable in the detached garage which has updated siding, roof, and a wall-unit AC. With just a little conjuring, you can turn this Carrie into a homecoming queen.
