PRICE ADJUSTMENT! Own a rare piece of Fort Wayne history and unlock endless potential, all for under $300,000! Situated on a high-traffic corner lot along Coldwater Road, this nearly 1-acre (.96) property offers exceptional visibility and commercial promise in one of the city’s busiest corridors. Originally established in 1878 as Washington School, this charming one-room schoolhouse was converted into a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence and has been a family home from 1978-2022.
