Discover this rare and extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Fort Wayne’s rich history—the iconic Centlivre House and property, recognized as a designated Fort Wayne Local Historic District. This exclusive offering includes the final three remaining structures from the original C.L. Centlivre Brewing Company site: the grand main house, an elegant carriage house, and an expansive 11-car storage garage. The main house is a masterpiece of Queen Anne architecture, showcasing timeless beauty and impeccably preserved details that exude sophistication and charm. Currently operating as a premier wedding venue, the Centlivre property offers a seamless blend of historic charm and modern functionality. The main house has been thoughtfully adapted to include four separate apartments, three of which currently serve as a luxurious bridal suite, a stylish groom’s suite, and a romantic honeymoon suite. The carriage house has been transformed into an exceptional event space, providing over 2,200 square feet of entertainment area, accommodating up to 100 guests. This venue is complete with a fully equipped bar, two beautifully updated ADA bathrooms, and a warming kitchen designed to support catering needs. The meticulous care and preservation efforts by the current owners have ensured that every detail enhances the property’s timeless elegance while meeting the demands of modern events. For those seeking an exceptional investment opportunity, the Centlivre property offers incredible versatility and income potential. The main house is divided into four separate apartments, each with its own unique charm, providing an excellent source of rental income. Additionally, the expansive 11-car garage is currently rented on a month-to-month basis, further enhancing the property’s revenue streams. Whether envisioned as a continuation of its current use as a wedding venue or reimagined purely as a rental property, this historic estate presents endless possibilities for generating substantial returns.
