Step into a piece of Fort Wayne history with the opportunity to purchase the historic Sion Bass Guest House, a beautifully preserved brick property currently operating as a six-room boutique inn in the heart of downtown. Originally constructed as a stately residence for prominent Fort Wayne industrialist Sion Bass, this remarkable property showcases the craftsmanship and architectural character of a bygone era while offering tremendous potential for future use.

The home currently operates as a charming boutique inn featuring six guest rooms, each with its own private bath, including one spacious suite with a private sitting area. Guests and visitors are welcomed into a warm reception area that could easily serve as a breakfast room, library, guest lounge, or reception space.

Throughout the home you will find many original historic features that have been carefully preserved, including beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors throughout, and the grand original staircase that serves as a focal point of the interior. The property also benefits from a newer roof, adding to its appeal and functionality.

Beyond its current hospitality use, this property offers incredible flexibility and redevelopment potential. With its downtown location and distinctive character, the building could easily transition into professional offices, boutique retail space, or a mixed-use redevelopment project, while continuing to preserve the historic charm that makes it so special.

The property also includes its own gravel parking lot, an increasingly valuable amenity in a downtown setting. Located in the heart of Fort Wayne, the property sits adjacent to Starbucks and is just blocks from the Grand Wayne Convention Center, Parkview Field (home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps), restaurants, entertainment, and downtown businesses.

Whether you are seeking a turn-key hospitality property, a distinctive downtown office location, retail space, or a redevelopment opportunity, the historic Sion Bass Guest House presents a rare chance to acquire a landmark property with endless possibilities.
