2212 N 19th St, Lafayette, IN 47904

Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with the potential for a 4th bedroom, offering something truly special both inside and out! Located in town, this property combines everyday convenience with the rare opportunity to own an established private nature preserve right in your own backyard. The property features more than 25 varieties of native flowering plants that bloom throughout the year, creating a self-sustaining natural habitat that continuously attracts and supports an incredible variety of wildlife. Generations of wildlife return year after year, including 9–10 different bird species, hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, bees, pollinating wasps, praying mantises, frogs, and more. The property is especially notable for its monarch butterfly habitat. Monarchs return to the property each year to breed, with eggs laid on the milkweed, caterpillars developing on the property, and chrysalises found on the home. The spring and summer breeding cycles continue through the final generation that makes the remarkable migration to Mexico. This established habitat offers a truly unique opportunity to observe the natural life cycle of monarchs and countless other pollinators right outside your door. Inside the home, you’ll find a functional layout with comfortable living spaces and a generously sized laundry room, along with the potential for a fourth bedroom. Outside, the fully fenced backyard has been thoughtfully established with native wildflowers, pollinator gardens, and natural landscaping that provides beauty, privacy, and a peaceful connection to nature. A 10x12 shed provides additional storage for lawn equipment, tools, and outdoor items. This is more than just a home—it is a rare opportunity to own a private, established nature preserve where generations of wildlife return year after year, all while enjoying the convenience of being close to town amenities.
