Discover this stunning Victorian jewel of Ninth Street Hill Neighborhood. Built in 1898 and owned by Lafayette luminaries of yore, the house is on the historic register and is an exceptionally well maintained three-story, five bedroom, 1.5 bath home that sits on a quiet, family-friendly street across from the old Purdue president’s mansion. Gorgeous stained glass and hardwood floors shine throughout the house, with airy, bright bedrooms with large closets. Custom cherry cabinetry in the kitchen offers plenty of storage, with lots more storage in the large butler’s pantry. The dining room and music room have custom built-in shelving units and the parlor and the master bedroom have fireplaces with beautiful oak mantels. The house has completely updated wiring and plumbing, new fencing, new cement siding with custom trim, leaf guard gutters on the second story, newer HVAC, and newer roof. The gardens are lush with well-established shrubs and perennials and mature trees, and the foodies in the family will enjoy the apple trees, raspberries, grapes, strawberries and rhubarb. The charming and unique she-shed/playhouse/bunkie nestled in the back yard has bespoke artisan stained glass, birch paneling, and two removable twin sized bunks. The large, brightly lit workshop in the cellar with custom workbenches and shelving invites the creativity of the family artisan or craftsman. The huge climate-controlled bonus room in the attic can be used as a fifth bedroom, home office, TV room, gym, or playroom, and the rest of the attic has loads more storage. The former maid’s quarters can either be used as a bedroom or den, or can be converted into a luxurious full bathroom. This stately Victorian home sits at the top of downtown Lafayette, just steps from the farmer's market, shops & restaurants. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of Lafayette history, where old-world charm meets modern-day living. Open House Monday 6/3, 4-6pm.
