Description

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 complete balance. Originally built in 1880 and once home to naturalist Eliza Dana Weigle, the estate carries a legacy that is both meaningful and remarkably preserved. Extensively expanded and thoughtfully reimagined in 2013, the home delivers all the character and craftsmanship expected of a historic property-without the typical concerns surrounding condition or functionality. Every major component of daily living has been addressed, allowing the next owner to enjoy the home for what it is, rather than what it needs. Inside, nearly 5,000 finished square feet unfolds with intention. A well-executed addition introduced a fireside family room, an updated kitchen designed for gathering, a main-level primary suite, and dedicated office spaces-each space integrated in a way that respects the home’s original architecture while enhancing flow and usability. Original details remain where they matter most, offering warmth, texture, and authenticity that cannot be replicated, while modern systems, finishes, and infrastructure provide the confidence expected in today’s market. The setting is equally compelling. Mature trees, curated landscaping, and layered outdoor living spaces-including decks, patios, and garden terraces-create a private, park-like environment that feels removed, yet remains minutes from Purdue University, Downtown Lafayette, and key commuter routes. Homes of this caliber rarely become available-particularly those that have been so carefully carried forward. A property that delivers the presence and story of a historic estate, with the comfort, function, and peace of mind of a home that has already been done right.
