Property Description

Tucked back on a private drive, this architect-designed residence offers an atmosphere of quiet sophistication and rare privacy while remaining only minutes from Fort Wayne, Parkview Regional, I-69, Dupont Road, Leo, and Auburn. Resting on three expansive acres with a private pond, this property presents an exceptionally rare opportunity within the highly regarded Leo School District. Designed and built in 2013, the home showcases thoughtful craftsmanship and striking architectural detail. The great room immediately impresses with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and large windows that frame the tranquil pond and waterfall view. The kitchen is tailored for both everyday living and elevated entertaining, offering custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, two built-in wine fridges, and a discreet butler's pantry. The primary suite is a true sanctuary positioned to capture peaceful views and features its own private deck, a perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings or sunset reflections over the water. The ensuite includes an oversized jetted tub, large walk-in tile shower, double vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers endless possibilities, and the large walk-in attic provides exceptional convenience and is ideal for extensive storage needs. Everyday living is elevated by a collection of thoughtfully integrated, high-quality systems including engineered hardwood floors warmed by radiant hydronic heat, an open-loop geothermal heating and cooling system, whole-house reverse osmosis water filtration system, and a full security system for added peace of mind. Beyond the main residence, a covered stamped-concrete patio with a brick fireplace extends the home’s entertaining potential. A detached two-car garage with radiant heated floors, a half bathroom, a rear workshop, and a fully finished, climate-controlled living space above provides remarkable flexibility. Whether used for in-laws, guests, an office, or recreation, it enhances the property’s livability while keeping winter vehicles warm and dry. Set within a peaceful rural environment enriched by wildlife and wide open space, this property delivers a distinctive level of tranquility and architectural character. It represents a rare offering in one of northeast Indiana’s most desirable communities. Schedule a tour to
