Start Showing Date: 4/23/2026 A rare opportunity to own a one-owner, custom-built estate by Chris Stauffer on 5 private acres with three ponds in Southwest Fort Wayne, thoughtfully designed and loved over the past 23 years. This home must be seen in person to truly appreciate the craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind features throughout. The kitchen showcases floating cabinets, Corian countertops, and a breakfast bar, while a separate wet bar creates an ideal setup for entertaining. The sunroom is a standout space with wall falls and a fireplace, bringing a unique indoor-outdoor feel.Major mechanical updates provide peace of mind, including two furnaces and two central air units (7 years old) and a roof that is approximately 8 years old and a whole-house generator. The home is serviced by city sewer and supported by a 400 amp electrical system.Outdoors, the property is equally impressive. The current owner has planted over 200 trees representing 21 different species, creating a private, park-like setting with a walking path through the woods. The front pond is enhanced with lighting, a fountain, and an aerator, adding to the overall ambiance. Exterior improvements include fresh paint completed in November 2025 and a driveway that has been consistently sealed every two years.An exceptional opportunity for a buyer to secure a truly unique property in one of Southwest Fort Wayne’s most desirable areas and make it their own.
