About this property
MultiGenerational-Historic-WestCentral-NoSmoke-4500sf-5Queens-SnowMelt-7TVs-BBQ
3-4 floor historic home in beautiful West Central Fort Wayne...120yo home with central AC/heat +portable AC units rehabbed with modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable. <1mi to all the landmarks of downtown FW.
3000sf home (basement/1st/2nd flr) is a great home to have family gatherings. Large tiled front porch - great for people watching.
Adult game room (3-in-1 pool/ping pong/push hockey) & kiddie room (w/dry erase wall+train table) in the basement. Optional to rent 700sf attic is a hangout/tv/gaming area with Xbox/foosball for teens/tweens/young adults - sleeps 6 people. Attic = EXTRA CHARGE $150.
8.3 miles (15 - 20 min) to FWA unless as overflow for >16 guests.
Because it is near downtown, most destinations in FW <15-20 minutes.
NO SMOKING/TOBACCO/ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES ANYWHERE ON THE PREMISES. 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.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROPERTY RENTAL IS NOT CHARGED AS A FLAT RATE. Since the house accomodates from 2 to 22 guests, the pricing is tiered depending on how many guests are staying. The base pricing is for 2 guests. Each person extra is charged at $35/person/night.
If you are booking this house for 2-3 guests, but trying to accommodate more people in for the same rate, please don't book this house. IF MORE GUESTS ARE FOUND TO STAY OVER WHAT IS BOOKED (WE HAVE EXTERIOR CAMERAS TO VERIFY), THE RATE FOR EXTRA GUESTS WILL BE CHARGED AT $50/person/night. Between the outdoor ring cameras + housekeeper, we will know how many guests actually stayed. I am a single disabled mother who has worked hard on this house for nearly 10 years. Please be respectful & follow the rules.
If you are on a budget, then write me to let me know your situation. I'll do my best to accommodate you/your group.
2-3 car snow melt driveway/walkways
Breaking house rules = $250 forfeit from SECURITY DEPOSIT
A gentle reminder that this is a large home & the cost of upkeep/utilities is the same regardless of group size. Rentals for large groups must reflect the number of individuals staying in the property as I cannot allow significant discounts. Please be respectful of this.
There is also a sectional sleeper sofa with full-sized mattress.
ALL mattresses and pillowcases have been encased to prevent bedbugs, allergens, and are waterproof.
HOUSE LAYOUT:
I decided to write up layout of the bedrooms/beds and available options so you can make a better decision on who goes where, etc. I’ve named the bedrooms to avoid confusion.
GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor/1st floor has a small bedroom (Fairfield) with a queen bed. It has newly renovated full bathroom with walk-in shower. So it’s like a small master suite. To get to this bathroom, you must walk through Fairfield bedroom. Fairfield is next to the kitchen; hence, it is ideal for anyone with mobility concerns. Also on the ground floor is the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Though to gain access to the house, one must be able to climb 3 steps from outside. let me know if you have disability issues as I can get a disability ramp.
2nd FLOOR
The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms. 2 of the bedrooms have connecting smaller bedrooms. One bedroom (Wayne) is quite large & has 2 queen beds in this room. There is a sliding door in Wayne that leads to another small bedroom (Union) with twin bunk beds. Union is about 80sf. Union also has its own door to the hallway as well.
There is a small bedroom (Ewing) with a queen bed. It’s about 110sf. No connecting room.
Lastly, there is Van Buren room with a queen bed. This room connects to the solarium (Harrison). The solarium (100sf) has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. To get to Harrison from the hallway, you must walk through Van Buren.
BASEMENT:
Basement has an adult game room with a multi-gaming table (pool/ping pong/push hockey), darts, seating area, 32"TV, a laundry area, a kiddie room with TV as well as a 3/4 bathroom.
ATTIC:
700sq area with foosball table, Xbox, 3/4 bathroom, 4 twin beds and a full-sized bed. So if someone wants to stay up here, it is possible. I do charge to rent this unless it is overflow for a large group - to cover the housekeeping/ supplies/utilities as it is another 700 sf. But with larger groups, it does allow for people to spread out more comfortably. So If you want to use the attic, there will be a one time charge of $150. You can also decide after you arrive & check out the house. I will send you door codes before check-in.

About the host
Hosted by Wanda Zee-Cheng
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 most places in the city.
What makes this property unique
My house is unique as it can hold very large groups very comfortably with 22 beds/4 bathrooms & can accommodate all ages! I have everything from a portable crib/pack-n-play to a toddler play room to a teen/tween hangout area and can comfortably accommodate older folks with mobility issues.
