About This Home
Nestled on over 5 acres of gorgeous wooded land, this one-owner custom home is a true retreat. Designed by architect Tom Walgamuth, this home was built with enduring quality in mind and meticulous attention to detail. Featuring geothermal heating and cooling, passive solar design, and a thoughtfully crafted greenhouse with a Trombe (thermal mass) wall and venting for energy efficiency, this home exemplifies sustainable living at its finest. Inside, the great room offers tranquil views into the greenhouse and through a soaring wall of south-facing insulated windows—inviting you to watch nature and the seasons unfold day after day. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a wood-burning stove with a cozy hearth seating area add warmth and character. The open loft/office overlooks the great room and includes built-in shelving and storage. The main-floor en suite provides comfort and convenience, while the formal dining room easily accommodates gatherings of 8–10 guests. The efficient kitchen connects seamlessly to the living spaces, making entertaining a joy. Upstairs, three distinctive bedrooms each offer their own charm—one even features a private deck. The attached tandem/drive through 3+ car garage (17’x44’) provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage. Beautifully designed trails, walkways, and a charming bridge meander through the wooded acreage, creating a serene outdoor experience right at home. Located just minutes from Purdue University, local schools, and shopping—this location could not be better. Call your favorite REALTOR® today to schedule a private showing!
