First time on the market in over 51 years, this exceptional historic residence presents a rare opportunity to own the former home of Lafayette's founder. The property is proudly listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Lafayette Register of Historic Places and may qualify for state historic preservation tax credits. Situated in the highly sought-after Old Town Lafayette neighborhood, this charming ranch-style home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an oversized two-car garage, all set on a uniquely large one-third acre corner lot. The 1,640-square-foot main level features a distinctive circular floor plan with generously sized common areas designed for comfortable living and memorable gatherings. Architectural character shines throughout, including the original stained-glass and solid wood front door, wood floors, and beautifully preserved wood trim details. A welcoming front porch enhances the home's curb appeal and historic charm. The expansive corner lot provides outstanding potential for a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering flexibility for future expansion, guest accommodations, or rental income (subject to local approvals).

Ideally located within walking distance to restaurants, breweries, coffee houses, shops, parks, and community events, this home offers an unmatched Old Town lifestyle.
