Property Description
A Home with History, Privacy, and Unmatched Character Nestled on approximately 9 serene acres, this remarkable home tells a story as rich as its surroundings. Built in 1933 as a wedding gift from William Noll (of Noll Pharmaceuticals and Pinex) to his son, this residence showcases rare craftsmanship from an era when few homes were built. Hand-adzed timbers were brought to the site, and every door and window was custom-made on location. With only four owners since its construction, the current residents have lovingly maintained and remodeled it for all of today's conveniences yet with yesterdays charm. The previous owner expanded the home, adding a spacious family room and a primary suite. At that time, the house was updated with new plumbing and electrical systems, along with a three-car garage, loft, and pool house. Privacy is paramount here. From nearly every vantage point, no other homes are visible—yet this oasis sits within city limits. Once described as a bird sanctuary, the estate is just minutes from I-69, the airport, top hospitals, Jefferson Pointe, Canterbury School, Fort Wayne Country Club, and downtown. Built in the Norman style, the home boasts a reinforced concrete foundation, striking oak beams filled with brick, and elegant oak plank flooring all re-done in most rooms. The spacious remodeled kitchen is designed for both functionality and gatherings, featuring an adjoining family dining area and a formal dining room. All updated appliances with additional refrigerators in the mudroom and basement. Zoned heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort, with three gas furnaces plus an electric furnace dedicated to the home office. High-speed FIOS fiber-optic connectivity provides seamless broadband and streaming capability. The 200-square-foot home office also includes an extensive library. Approximately 3 acres of manicured lawn transition into natural wooded surroundings, creating a peaceful escape. The house sits 200 yards from the road, buffered by mature trees for privacy and tranquility. A shallow pond near the entrance was once used for fishing and ice skating, adding to the home's rich history and charm. All new asphalt. This is more than a home—it's a legacy waiting for its next chapter.
