About This Home

Nestled on 5.03 wooded acres in rural West Lafayette, this beautifully maintained home offers the perfect blend of privacy, space, and convenience—just minutes from Purdue University, top-rated schools, and shopping. Built with quality craftsmanship by Galema & Strawsma, this 2,528 square-foot residence features four generously sized bedrooms and thoughtfully designed living spaces throughout. The home has been meticulously cared for and tastefully updated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive. A charming brick walkway leads from the driveway to a welcoming covered front porch (18x8), setting the tone for the home’s timeless appeal. Inside, a bright foyer greets you with an open staircase and a floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious family room features wood-beamed ceiling, barn-siding and built-in bookshelves, while the kitchen is truly a cook’s dream. Highlights include a large work island with seating and storage, a convection oven with downdraft, abundant cabinetry with pull-outs and drawers, and a dedicated coffee/drink station with its own sink. Perfectly positioned, the formal dining room extends from the living room to the kitchen, with the family room on the opposite side—creating an ideal flow for gatherings. At the rear of the home, over 800 square feet of open decking extends along the south side, with access from both the kitchen and family room—perfect for enjoying the seasons and serene wooded views. The property offers abundant wildlife, including deer and birds, along with thoughtfully planted garden areas that bloom year after year and walking trails throughout the woods. Upstairs, the primary ensuite serves as a true retreat, featuring dual vanities and two closets. A central hallway connects the additional bedrooms while maintaining privacy. All bedrooms are generously sized, continuing the home’s theme of comfort and space. Additional features include main-floor laundry, excellent storage, and an unfinished basement housing all utilities. This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful, private retreat in a highly desirable location. A truly exceptional property you won’t want to miss.
