***OPEN HOUSE-SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st FROM 1:00-3:00 PM*** Welcome to this stunning two-story home with a finished basement, perfectly situated on a beautiful pond lot in the highly desirable Bear Creek Estates. Here, you can kayak, float, or fish right from your backyard and enjoy neighborhood walking trails with serene pond views. The oversized fenced-in backyard is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a spacious brick patio. With the yard facing east, evenings are comfortably shaded, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Inside, the open floor plan connects the kitchen, breakfast nook, and great room with a cozy fireplace. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with freshly painted cabinetry, Grabill cabinets with soft-close drawers, a walk-in corner pantry, newer farmhouse sink, island with overhead pot hanger, and all appliances included. A main-level flex space currently serves as a formal dining room but could easily be a home office. You’ll also find a designated laundry room and convenient half bath on this level. Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level. The finished basement offers a large family room, dry bar with mini fridge (included), and a half bath—perfect for game nights or entertaining. Additional highlights include a garage with bump-out for extra workspace, built-in overhead storage, pegboard wall, and pull-down stairs to a partially floored attic. Located between Fort Wayne and Auburn, this home combines the peace of country-style living with the convenience of nearby city amenities.
