Historic 1 Bdr across from Lakeside Park

Summary:
Quaint, cozy, and full of character—this upstairs 1-bedroom duplex across from Lakeside Park offers old-home warmth with modern essentials. Perfect for travel nurses, solo travelers, or couples who love charm over luxury. Enjoy park views, a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and peaceful surroundings near downtown & Parkview Randallia.

The Space:
Unit B is the upstairs apartment of a lovingly preserved early 1900s duplex, brimming with original character and comfort. Accessed from the shared front foyer (door on the left), you’ll climb one indoor staircase to a quiet, sunlit retreat.

The living room offers a comfortable place to unwind, with large windows overlooking Lakeside Park & Rose Garden. The bedroom is cozy and restful, with quality bedding and just enough vintage charm to make you feel at home.

The kitchen is fully stocked for meal prep, and the washer/dryer make it ideal for longer stays. It’s not a modern condo—it’s a warm, lived-in space that feels timeless and real. Expect creaky floors, character, and comfort in equal measure.

Guest Access:
Guests have full, private access to Unit B, including:

Private kitchen, bedroom, bath, and laundry

Living room with park views and Smart TV

High-speed Wi-Fi and self-check-in keypad access

Free street parking on California or Tennessee Ave

Entry is through the shared foyer; take the door on the left labeled Unit B, and climb one flight of indoor stairs.

The Neighborhood:
Located in the Lakeside Historic District, one of Fort Wayne’s most photographed neighborhoods, directly across from the Rose Garden and park trails. Locals and visitors alike love this area for its peaceful atmosphere, historic architecture, and strong sense of community.

You’re just minutes from Parkview Randallia Hospital, making this a top choice for medical professionals on assignment. Downtown, the Rivergreenway trails, and Promenade Park are all within 10 minutes.

Getting Around:
Free street parking right outside the home on California or Tennessee Ave.

Parkview Randallia: 4 minutes by car, ~20-minute walk.

Downtown Fort Wayne: ~10 minutes by car.

Restaurants, cafés, and shops: within a mile.

Public transit is limited, but rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available.

Other Things to Note:
This is an upstairs unit in a historic duplex. You may hear normal sounds from guests in the downstairs apartment.

The home carries its age gracefully—expect character, charm, and a touch of nostalgia, not new construction.

Quiet hours begin at 10 PM out of respect for the downstairs guests and neighbors.

This home is ideal for guests who appreciate a slower pace, peaceful surroundings, and the soul of an older home.

Interaction with Guests:
Self-check-in is provided for your convenience. You’ll receive an electronic access code prior to arrival.

We respect your privacy but are always available via call or text for any questions, assistance, or local recommendations. Whether you’re here for work or leisure, we’ll ensure your stay is smooth and stress-free.

Everything worked great. The place was clean and the layout was as expected with plenty of room for two people. Location was perfect. The bed was also very comfortable.
