About This Home

As of July 2025

New, lower price! Buyers with some cash could potentially assume the current FHA loan at a 3.5% interest rate. Welcome to 539 Wagner, a delightful 2 story residence on a fine brick street nestled in the heart of Fort Wayne. With 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms spread across 1,706sqft of living space. The main level features 9' ceilings, a welcoming parlor room (doubling as a potential 4th bedroom), and laminate plank flooring throughout. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances including a dishwasher, electric range, and refrigerator. For your peace of mind, the house is secured with a ring doorbell and cameras. Recent updates include new architectural shingles in 2023 (tear off), some new windows, new kitchen sink and added garbage disposal. Step outside to a yard complete with a fire pit and shed, perfect for outdoor gatherings. The home is situated on a historical brick street, one of only seven in the city, adding a unique charm to the neighborhood. Venture out into the local community to find an array of amenities. Enjoy the natural beauty of nearby parks, including River Greenway, Lakeside Park, Historic Old Fort, and Headwaters Park. Groceries are a breeze with Kroger and George’s International Market nearby. Enjoy a hearty breakfast at Klemm's on Wells or Tom's Donuts, and happy hour or an evening coffee at Draft Taproom & Coffee. Indulge in local cuisine at The Pub at 1802, Clara's Pizza King, Ophelia's, or El Azteca Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar, among many others. Experience the local culture at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Parkview Field, The Bell Mansion, or the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory. This home offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern convenience, truly a gem in Fort Wayne. Don't forget to check out the 3D tour!
