THE
A Regal Time Machine with a Mural, a Ballroom, and Endless Charm
Tucked into the storybook streets of Muncie’s Emily Kimbrough Historic District, the Charles Over Mansion isn’t just a house—it’s a full-on experience. Built in 1902 by Charles Over, founder of the Over Glass Works, this Georgian Revival beauty is a glorious throwback to an era when homes were designed to impress, inspire, and occasionally host a waltz or two. Set on a tree-lined street with just enough lawn to feel stately (without needing a groundskeeper), this 11,116-square-foot masterpiece is brimming with personality. Original oak floors? Check. Quarter-sawn woodwork with century-old charm? Of course. Five working pocket doors? You bet—perfect for making a dramatic entrance or just impressing your guests. And the details? Simply divine. Leaded and stained- glass windows let in that dreamy golden-hour glow. The dining room features a hand-painted landscape
mural by Lyric Opera House artist Nicole Arciola—yes, hand-painted and signed, like the Mona Lisa of dinner parties. Up on the third floor, a full ballroom awaits— ideal for impromptu dance sessions, epic game nights, or your very own Bridgerton moment. Lovingly updated by its current owner, the home marries historic charm with modern comfort—so you can soak in the beauty without sacrificing the Wi- Fi. With six bedrooms, three and a half baths, and a whole lot of wow, the Charles Over Mansion is equal parts grand estate, art piece, and happy-ever-after waiting to happen.
