SELLS ABSOLUTE, NO RESERVE, SELLS REGARDLESS OF PRICE!
Highly Desirable Aboite Township / Southwest Allen School System

Updated and move-in ready home in very private park-like setting within the much-desired Covington Lake Estates neighborhood. This home, designed by Roy McNett, sits on 1.3 acres and is beautifully lined by many mature hardwood trees (including sugar, yellow, red, silver, crimson king and Japanese maples) and coniferous tress. Approximately .40 acres of the backyard is fenced in with bronze aluminum fencing which makes it ideal for kids and pets. The backyard is great for entertaining as it contains a 14ft Michael Phelps swim Spa, in-ground volleyball, swing set, tree house and large deck with a retractable awning.
The interior of the house contains beautiful Grabill kitchen cabinetry, granite and quartz countertops, hardwood floors on the main level, new carpet in formal living and dining rooms and newly painted interior walls. Sunroom and breakfast room (fully windowed) looking out at your own backyard “park” - beautiful all four seasons of the year. Large master suite with walk-in closet and large master bath (with spa tub). The finished basement has a bar that acts as a kitchen (stove top, sink & refrigerator) within a large living/entertaining room, large den, half bath and track lighting. Also in the basement is a second large finished room and an unfinished mechanical room with lots of room for storage.
Covington Lake Estates is located in Fort Wayne’s southwest side in Aboite Township. It is a subdivision of approximately fifty custom-built homes on 1+ acres lots having only one entry/exit point limiting non-residential traffic. The homes are on a 1.1 mile loop perfect for walking your dog or a quiet bicycle ride as much of the loop is shaded with mature trees around a beautiful lake where you can sit and enjoy sunrises and sunsets. The subdivision is connected to the 20 mile Aboite Trails and the larger Fort Wayne trail network. Perfectly located for a quick walk/run, bike ride or drive to schools (Southwest Allen County) churches, stores (grovery, hardware, drug, gas stations), the southwest YMCA, golf course - all within 1.5 miles, Lutheran Hospital/Medical district, Wildwood Tennis Club and access to I-69 is less than 5 miles away with the airport within a 20 minute drive.
