Description

Step into a remarkable piece of Greencastle history with this elegant Victorian, lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated to preserve its architectural character and provide modern comfort. Once serving as DePauw University's Presidential residence (1895-1902), named Twin Oaks, this charming home offers 4 bedrooms, an office, den, and 2.5 baths on a double lot in a historic district. Original craftsmanship is showcased throughout with beautiful millwork, soaring ceilings, pocket doors, original hardware, a magnificent double staircase, restored windows, massive carved doors, and two gracious porches with colorful gingerbread trim. The bright eat-in kitchen features a large butcher-block island, a walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, and abundant workspace. Entertain in the spacious dining room with wood-burning stove or gather in the sunny living room highlighted by a large southern-facing bay window. A handsome den with custom built-ins and adjoining half bath provides the perfect library, office, or TV room. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet, bay window, and private bath with marble vanity, walk-in shower, and classic claw-foot tub. Three generous guest bedrooms, a full guest bath, and an additional office with built-in shelving and a private balcony overlooking the front lawn complete the upper level. Attic and basement areas provide additional storage with utilities. Outside, the expansive lawn is framed by mature oak, maple and dogwood trees, a garden, detached 2-car garage, paved driveway, patio, and two outbuildings-a large tool shed and playhouse/studio. Located one block from Robe Ann Park (tennis, pickleball, playground, pool), two blocks from DePauw's campus, and a 12-minute walk from downtown shopping and restaurants, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, comfort, and space in a tranquil neighborhood that's only 45 minutes from the international airport. A truly special home awaits you.
