The Indiana mansion also boasts an original slate roof, an Inn Keepers apartment and more.
A veranda overlooks the water garden, which was built using the original architectural drawings.

The historic property is beloved by locals, as it was voted Indiana's best save in 2001.
Kat will be living in the home with her husband Rafael Reyes, 46, and their son Leafar Von Drachenberg Reyes.
MAKING MOVES
It seems Kat, whose real name Katherine Von Drachenberg, has no plans to permanently return to Los Angeles after she announced her plans on Monday to close her famous Hollywood tattoo shop.
Alongside a series of photos from High Voltage Tattoo Shop, Kat wrote on : "As some of you know, we recently purchased a beautiful home on a bit of land in rural Indiana, and the more time we spend out there we realize we feel more at home there than we do here in LA.
"After much thought, we have decided we will permanently be moving to Indiana at the end of this year. We plan on selling our beautiful home here, and I will most likely open a private studio in Indiana once we are done with the house remodel there."
END OF AN ERA
Kat then shared that she has chosen to permanently close that California-based tattoo show, writing: "I will be closing my beloved tattoo shop here in West Hollywood on Dec 1. I didn’t think it would make sense to keep it open if I wasn’t present, and aside from coming back to work on music with my band, we don’t plan on returning to LA very often."
The makeup mogul then encouraged her followers to stop by the tattoo shop before its closing date and suggested they follow her "talented fellow artists to see where they end up going in their journey!"
She continued in the caption: "I’d like to thank my beloved tattoo family that I’ve had the honor and privilege of working alongside.
