Welcome to another home tour! Today, we’re exploring 1806 Summit Drive in West Lafayette, a charming home with a prime location. Situated less than a mile from Mackey Arena at Purdue University and only a mile and a tenth from the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, this house is perfect for those looking to be close to campus. As we dive into this tour, you’ll see why this property offers both convenience and potential.
Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a formal living room, approximately 10×20 feet, serving as the entryway. This space offers a blank slate for personalization. Moving into the kitchen, you’ll find an updated dishwasher paired with vintage electric stove and cabinets, presenting a mix of old and new. The kitchen flows into a spacious addition at the back of the house, featuring a large living room and dining area. The living room boasts a gas fireplace with a brick surround and a wood mantle, complemented by four windows that provide a view of the expansive backyard.
Speaking of the backyard, it’s unusually large for West Lafayette, with plenty of room for outdoor activities and a beautiful tree near the house. There’s also a storage shed that was once the original garage, ideal for lawn equipment or a workshop. For those who enjoy the outdoors but prefer a bit of shelter, the three-season porch offers a versatile space with sliding windows that can be opened for fresh air in warmer months.
Inside, this 1952 home has two bedrooms on the main floor and three more upstairs. The main floor features a simple bathroom with standard amenities. The upstairs is highlighted by a massive 20×25 foot bonus room, which could serve multiple purposes such as an office, playroom, or additional bedrooms. Alongside the bonus room are three more bedrooms and another bathroom. While the upstairs bathroom could use some updates, it is functional and conveniently located.
Finally, the basement offers additional living space, including a laundry room, a half bath, and a large open area that could be used for hobbies or storage. A workbench and workshop area provide even more possibilities for customization. With so much space and potential, 1806 Summit Drive is a great opportunity for anyone looking to be close to Purdue University while enjoying a home with character and room to grow.
