What Color Do You Want Your New Foursquare To Be? Located in the heart of East State Village, this fully updated 1920s classic delivers rare craftsmanship, clean architectural lines, and mechanical peace of mind—and with an acceptable offer, the seller is including a professionally contracted exterior paint job, so the next owner gets to choose the colors. It’s a value-driven opportunity you won’t find anywhere else. Inside, you'll find a brand new Bryant HVAC system installed in 2025 with a smart thermostat, eligible for a 10-year parts warranty when registered by the new owner. The foundation has been professionally leveled, complete with drainage tile and a sump system to ensure a dry, solid basement. The plumbing has been upgraded, and the old lead water lines have been replaced. The custom kitchen is a standout, featuring live-edge hardwood countertops, tile backsplash, refinished cabinets, and a newly created pass-through with breakfast bar connecting to the dining area—creating an open concept feel that blends character with modern flow. The hardwood floors run throughout both levels, with the main floor floors recently refinished to showcase the original beauty of the home. Additional upgrades include fresh interior paint, custom trim, a new living room ceiling, and the restored original lofted ceiling detail in the stairwell. The roof was reshingled approximately two years ago, and the chimney has a new cap with fresh tuckpointing. The full bath has been updated, and the main-floor half bath offers space to easily add a shower. A detached garage, fresh landscaping, and thoughtful cosmetic touches round out the property. What makes this one even more unique is the opportunity to make it yours before you move in. With an acceptable offer, the seller is including a $9,500 exterior paint concession, backed by a professional quote from Randall Moss—one of Fort Wayne’s most respected painting contractors. That means you select the colors, and the work gets done post-closing with expert prep and quality finish. Homes like this don’t come up often in East State Village—and when they do, they go fast. Schedule your showing today and take the first step toward owning a fully upgraded classic with the final touches still left to you.
