About 822 W Charles St

Welcome to the historic Ball-Leffler house in Muncie's Old West End! This home has 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 3 floors of high ceilings, and beautiful original architectural details! Rich with local history, this home was built in 1888 by Robert and Ida Ball. The Balls moved to Muncie to start the first washing machine company here and lived in the home until 1897. They then sold it to Joseph and Laura Leffler. Joseph Leffler was a lawyer and judge in Delaware County. The home remained in the Leffler family until 1960 and is an excellent example of a high style Queen Anne. So much original character remains! This home features huge rooms and tall ceilings. On the main floor there is a large entry room that opens to one of the living rooms. Off the living room is the dining room, kitchen, and another parlor/ living room. The main floor also has an extra den or office and a full bath. On the second floor, there are 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths. A rare feature of this home is a large primary bedroom with ensuite bath. The third floor is a large open bonus room. This would be a great art studio, office, or family room. It's a great versatile space! Outside there is a lovely wrap around porch and large yard. And as a bonus, this home has a detached garage for off street parking! This home is convenient to all Downtown Muncie has to offer and is a must see!
