Property Description

Tucked away in the woods just moments from Lake Monroe, this truly one-of-a-kind custom home blends storybook charm with inspired craftsmanship. Offering three bedrooms and 2½ baths, every detail of this residence tells a story and reflects thoughtful design. The exterior is wrapped in beautiful cypress siding, setting the tone for what lies within. A solid mahogany “Hobbit” front door welcomes you into a warm, inviting interior where history and artistry come together. The main posts and beams—repurposed poplar salvaged from an 1840 Logansport barn—create a striking architectural presence, grounding the home in authentic character. Walls and ceilings are constructed with high-performance structural insulated panels, providing exceptional energy efficiency and comfort. Large windows throughout the home invite the surrounding woods inside, filling the great room, kitchen, and dining area with natural light and creating an open, airy atmosphere. Artistic, custom elements are found throughout, from handcrafted sinks to custom light switches. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring rich cherry cabinetry, gorgeous granite countertops, an antique-style refrigerator, and a brand-new dishwasher—perfectly blending old-world charm with modern convenience. The layout offers wonderful flexibility. A large loft bedroom overlooks the light-filled main living space, while the lower level includes an additional bedroom that can also serve as a family room. Radiant heat warms the lower-level floor, adding comfort and efficiency, and a charming “Harry Potter” closet adds a whimsical touch. Even the lower-level walls tell a story, crafted from reclaimed grain bin materials. Outdoor living is just as special, with a 10-foot-wide deck wrapping around two sides of the home, supported by all-new cedar posts. The wooded lot includes a fenced area for dogs and a matching 16' x 16' shed with cypress siding, perfect for storage or hobbies. A two-car carport adds convenient covered parking. This is more than a home—it's a thoughtfully built retreat filled with history, creativity, and warmth, offering peaceful living in a natural setting close to Lake Monroe.
