W Washington Boulevard Fort Wayne, IN 46802

Some will remember it as Fort Wayneâs iconic âThirsty Camelâ but itâs now an incredible home above two commercial units, all wrapped up into one amazing listing. The building, just across from the Grand Wayne Center is certainly one to see. No detail was overlooked in the two year renovation, wrap...ping up in 2020. Only a few the original brick walls and a few of the bulb-lit letters of the Thirsty Camel remain in 118 W Washington, home of IES Engineering. The space offers an updated twist on a historic space with a smart design featuring a waiting/reception area, private office, board room, multi use open space, kitchenette, elevator (to the parking garage), private garage and a door to the brick alley behind (adorned with Art This Way features). The unit to the west, 122 W Washington, is home of New York Dentists. Not to miss features include the incredible exposed brick walls in the waiting area and in many of the exam rooms (eight exam rooms, all with water), a private 2 car garage and door to that great alley. The grand entrance to 120 W Washington lies between these two commercial units. Double doors open to the original stone staircase ascending between two aged brick walls. If stairs arenât your thing, a private Schindler elevator (new in 2019) will take you from the 14 car garage to the 10,000 sq ft residence. Once inside, take a moment to take in the open concept of the entire 2nd floor, from windows looking out each side of the building to the exposed bricks and beams, its spectacular. The enormous open kitchen has professional grade (and sized) appliances, two free standing units (refrigerator and freezer each 49 cu feet), two dishwashers, triple basin stainless sink and a spacious quartz island. A full butlerâs pantry is simply a bonus to a kitchen this size. With a 50x30 patio, the outdoors is easily enjoyed just beyond the open kitchen/living areas. The north wall has two sliding walls of glass, allowing the majority of the wall to just disappear when open, yet it works conventionally to allow just one segment of the glass doors to open. This open space flows beautifully, thanks to the aged wood floors throughout, historically tall windows (yet all new in 2018), Dutch Made cabinetry and soaring ceilings. A grand open staircase leads to the homeâs upper level (the buildingâs third floor), offering views of both the city and the home's living space below, oversized hallways and roomy vestibules.
