This is one of those homes that truly tells the story of a city’s Gilded Age. The Charles Over Mansion is not just a residence; it’s the personal vision of a local captain of industry, a masterpiece of craftsmanship built in 1902 when Muncie was a hub of ambition and artistry.
For anyone who appreciates the integrity of historic architecture, this home is a treasure trove. The sheer quality of the quarter-sawn oak woodwork is breathtaking, a testament to an era when materials were the absolute finest. You can feel the home’s solidness and grace as you glide open one of the five massive, original pocket doors.
There are details here that are simply irreplaceable. The dining room is a work of art in itself, graced with a signed, hand-painted landscape mural by Lyric Opera House artist Nicole Arciola—imagine hosting dinners in a room that is also a gallery.
But the ultimate Gilded Age feature awaits on the third floor: a grand ballroom, a magnificent space that still seems to echo with the music and social gatherings of a century past.
It’s clear this home has been under the care of a true steward. The meticulous restorations have honored its history, meaning you can inhabit this piece of the past with confidence.
This isn’t just a chance to own a magnificent home; it’s an invitation to become the next caretaker of a Muncie landmark and to live surrounded by a level of beauty and history that is truly rare.
