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. 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 the character and craftsmanship expected of a historic property-without the typical concerns surrounding condition or functionality. Designed with architectural integrity and built to modern standards, the addition continues to live and perform like a much newer home, supported by consistent care, ongoing investment, and a level of maintenance reflecting long-term stewardship. Inside, nearly 5,000 finished square feet unfolds with intention. The addition introduced a fireside family room, an updated kitchen designed for gathering, a main-level primary suite, a dedicated office space, tiered decks, and a screened porch with seamless connection to the patio and gardens-each element integrated in a way that respects the home's original architecture while enhancing flow and usability. Four fireplaces-ranging from an Italian marble focal point in the living room to additional gas and wood-burning features-add warmth and architectural presence throughout. Original details remain where they matter most-soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, an ornate staircase, picture rails, and custom handcrafted woodwork reflecting the home's heritage-while the addition carries that same level of architectural discipline forward, creating grand yet functional spaces designed for how people live today. Modern systems, finishes, and infrastructure provide the confidence expected in today's market, with improvements focused where they matter most-structure, systems, and everyday livability. The setting is equally compelling. Mature trees, curated landscaping...
