About this home
Welcome home to this timeless turn-of-the-century residence in the heart of downtown Lafayette’s historic district. Built in 1863 and filled with character, this impressive 3–5 bedroom, 3 full bath home blends historic charm with spacious living and modern flexibility. The majestic double doors at the front porch and classic architectural details create a warm first impression that continues throughout the home. Inside, you’ll discover expansive living spaces filled with natural light, tall ceilings, rich hardwood floors, original character, and beautiful craftsmanship rarely found in newer construction. One of the home’s most striking features is the stunning library complete with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a rolling ladder for easy access, creating the perfect retreat for reading, working, or displaying treasured collections. From the front living room with charming fireplace, you'll go through massive double doors to the formal dining room with room for any size table. The spacious kitchen is designed for gathering and everyday living with abundant granite countertops, extensive prep and cooking space, and generous eat-in space for a dining table. Nearby, the convenient laundry area includes a stacking washer & dryer and storage while the adjacent screened porch (added 2022) offers the perfect setting for morning coffee, reading, or relaxing on sunny days overlooking the backyard. The flexible layout offers versatility with a main-level flex room previously used as a violin studio that could serve as a hobby space, additional living area, home office, or guest suite. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, with the primary bedroom features massive windows, and an updated spa-like bathroom (built 2024) with modern clawfoot tub, large standing shower, twin sink vanity and a bidet toilet. Outside, the detached two-story carriage house currently provides abundant storage opportunities and adds even more historic appeal and future potential to the property. Situated on a sizeable corner lot in downtown Lafayette, the outdoor spaces provide room for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the mature neighborhood setting. Conveniently located near local dining, coffee shops, farmer's market, entertainment, and the vibrant downtown scene, with easy access to Purdue University and nearby riverfront trails, this distinctive property offers the rare opportunity to own a truly memorable historic home filled with warmth, craftsmanship, and timeless character....
