About This Home

The Charles Over Mansion | Keystone of Muncie's Emily Kimbrough Historic District A rare opportunity to own one of the area's most iconic historic estates, where timeless architecture, a hidden third-floor ballroom, and modern luxury converge. Meticulously restored, this 1902 Georgian Revival and Neo-Classical landmark offers a level of craftsmanship and presence rarely found. Built by industrialist Charles Over (founder of Over Glass Works), the brick mansion makes an unforgettable 1st impression with grand Corinthian columns, an expansive front porch, and matching second-level portico. Inside, original terrazzo floors welcome you into the vestibule. A breathtaking solid oak and ornate leaded glass entry opens into an interior of luxurious Victorian grandeur. Original hardwood floors, curated ornate gilded bronze, crystal chandeliers and other authentic period lighting carry throughout. The main level flows effortlessly from the grand entrance hall, surrounded by a formal dining room with oak wainscoting, panoramic murals, coffered ceiling, a drawing room and parlor with fireplaces, ornate pediments, oak pillars and seven original oak pocket doors. Original marble bathroom sinks, claw-foot tub, leaded and stained glass, and a grand fireplace atop the grand staircase with dual built-in bench seating, all showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The 3rd floor offers a true showpiece, an immersive speakeasy-style retreat with Chicago brick floors, guest bedroom, full bath with soaking tub, and a stunning ballroom featuring an expansive dance floor, stage, wet bar, and media lounge. Painstakingly preserved, restored and thoughtfully modernized with 4 zoned high-efficiency HVAC systems, chef's kitchen featuring commercial-grade appliances, and unusually generous closet space throughout. Located in the revitalizing Emily Kimbrough Historic District, moments from downtown Muncie's dining, shops, and culture. A legacy property for the next fortunate steward.
