This 1880 Victorian Was Once DePauw University’s Presidential Residence
Pocket Doors and a Double Staircase Fill This $499K Indiana Victorian
Known as Twin Oaks, this restored 1880 Victorian reportedly served as DePauw University’s presidential residence from 1895 to 1902.
Its 3,946-square-foot interior preserves soaring ceilings, pocket doors, original hardware, carved doors, rich millwork, restored windows, and a magnificent double staircase.
The main floor includes a bright living room with a south-facing bay window, a formal dining room with a wood-burning stove, and a den with built-ins and an adjoining half bathroom.
A spacious kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, a butcher-block island, and a walk-in pantry.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a bay window, walk-in closet, marble vanity, walk-in shower, and claw-foot tub, while an additional office opens to a private balcony.
The 0.64-acre double lot includes mature trees, two porches with gingerbread trim, a patio, garden, detached two-car garage, tool shed, and playhouse or studio.
Located in a historic district near DePauw’s campus, parks, and downtown Greencastle, the home is currently listed for $499,000.
