About this home
One of Tippecanoe County's best-kept secrets, this historic Italianate residence-known as Bird Acres-offers a rare opportunity to own a property where architectural significance and modern livability exist in balance. Built in 1880 and once home to naturalist Eliza Dana Weigle, the home carries a legacy that is both meaningful and remarkably preserved. Extensively expanded and thoughtfully reimagined in 2013, the property delivers the character and craftsmanship expected of a historic home-without the typical concerns surrounding condition or functionality. Designed with architectural integrity and built to modern standards, the addition lives and performs like a newer home, supported by consistent care, ongoing investment, and evident long-term stewardship. Nearly 5,000 finished square feet unfolds with purpose, including a fireside family room, updated kitchen designed for gathering, main-level primary suite, dedicated office, screened porch, and tiered decks with seamless connection to the patio and gardens. Four fireplaces-highlighted by an Italian marble focal point-add warmth and architectural presence, with both gas and wood-burning options. Original details remain where they matter most-soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, ornate staircase, picture rails, and custom handcrafted woodwork-while the addition carries that same level of architectural discipline forward. Modern systems, finishes, and infrastructure provide confidence, with improvements focused on structure, mechanicals, and everyday performance. Set among mature trees and curated landscaping, the property offers a private, park-like setting just minutes from Purdue University, Downtown Lafayette, and key routes. Homes of this caliber rarely become available. A rare opportunity to own a historic home that has been thoughtfully updated for how people live today....
