About this property

Historic*WestCentral*NoSmoking*SECURITYCameras*4500sf*5Queens*5TVs*SnowMelt*BBQ

3-4 floor historic home in beautiful West Central Fort Wayne that is less than a mile to downtown attractions that Fort Wayne has to offer....120yo home with central air conditioning/heating rehabbed with modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable. <1mi to all the landmarks of downtown FW.

3000sf home (basement/1st/2nd floor) is a great home to have family gatherings. Large tiled front porch is great for people watching.
Adult game room (3-in-1 pool/ping pong/push hockey) & kiddie room (w/chalkboard wall) in the basement. 700sf attic is a hangout/tv/gaming area with Xbox/foosball for teens/tweens/young adults. Attic = EXTRA CHARGE (but also depends on how many guests will be using this space)
8.3 miles (15 - 20 min) to FW Airport.
Because it is near downtown, most destinations in FW <15-20 minutes.

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING/TOBACCO/ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY. I have guests with medical issues staying here because there is no smoking. Please don't book this house if you have any smokers in your group.
If you move furniture/bedding, please return to original space at check-out.
To ensure house rules are followed & to prevent unpaid guests from staying, exterior/common interior cameras are being installed. IF MORE GUESTS ARE FOUND TO STAY OVER WHAT IS BOOKED (WE HAVE CAMERAS TO VERIFY), THE RATE FOR EXTRA GUESTS WILL BE CHARGED AT $45/person/night.

2-3 car snow melt driveway/walkways

Breaking house rules = $250 taken from SECURITY DEPOSIT

Great house for a family getaway
We loved staying here for a little spring break trip with family. The location was perfect for us with all of the places we wanted to visit within a 15 to 30 minute drive. The house was spacious and had a lot of character. We loved the comfy living room, large dining room table for playing games and sharing meals, and the game room. Wanda was great and communication was on point.

Indiana Tech Graduation
Clean and welcoming 1900’s house. House was right in a main Fort Wayne road so could hear traffic on that side of the house. But that road also meant convenient travel. Each of our party of ten had private quarters and there was a great large table for game playing. The house accommodated our graduation gathering perfectly. Thank you.

Beautiful cozy home close to downtown
We rented the home for our family at Christmas, and loved the house, the responsiveness of our host, and that it was walking distance to downtown.

Perfect location
This was a perfect size home and location for our family gathering in Fort Wayne. 5-10 min walk through the beautiful neighborhoods to shops and restaurants in downtown FW was a highlight. Iron Works and GK Bakery all became favorites.

About the host

Hosted by Wanda Zee-Cheng

Host profile image
Previously, I was a practicing anesthesiologist - until I had an aortic dissection and required emergency open heart surgery. I had significant complications. Later I became a single mother by choice. In 2011 I left Los Angeles to live a quieter safer life with my son. We rent out our home in Manhattan Beach so we go back to LA frequently. Shortly after purchasing this house, we moved to Zeeland, MI, so we return to the Washington house frequently to finish/update/improve it to make it cozy/comfortable for our guests.

Please follow house rules...I'm not a corporation....I'm just a single mom who put a lot of heart/soul/money into this house. :)

Why they chose this property

This house is 120 years old, but preserved immaculately. West Central is a beautiful neighborhood just adjacent to the downtown that is undergoing huge development. From this house, you can walk everywhere...10-20 minute walk. The house is a 15 minute drive to all other places in the city.

What makes this property unique

I wanted to be involved in the exciting growth of Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne is a great city to live in. The city just keeps improving with more things to do, places to see, restaurants to frequent. Come visit!
