This 1902 Indiana mansion has a whole hidden ballroom on the third floor

Found this wild historic place in Muncie, Indiana listed for $749,995. It has over 15,000 square feet, which is honestly hard to wrap your head around, but the interior woodwork is just ridiculous.

Out front

You pull up to the curb and the first thing you notice are these giant columns. It feels more like a historic statehouse than a regular family home.

Look at the scale of the front balcony from behind the columns. The views of the neighborhood from up here are great.

First impressions

You walk through the front doors and immediately hit original terrazzo flooring and a heavy wood bench built right into the wall.

The main entry door is solid oak and framed by leaded glass panels that look like they have never been touched.

The reception hall

Once you are past the vestibule, the main hall opens up with a staircase that looks like something out of a museum.

You can close off the parlor with these original oak pocket doors that still slide smoothly after a century.

Living spaces

The parlor has this dense wallpaper pattern and a brick fireplace that instantly makes the room feel cozy.

Ornate light fixtures hang from the ceiling, and these heavy wooden columns divide the main sitting rooms.

There is also this dark green sitting room off to the side with its own fireplace and tall windows.

The dining room and butler’s pantry

The dining room is where things get wild. It has panoramic landscape murals painted right above the oak wainscoting.

Up close, you can see how much detail went into these painted walls.

Right off the dining room is a butler’s pantry with original floor-to-ceiling cabinets and a star-patterned tile floor.

The kitchen upgrade

Instead of trying to fake a vintage kitchen, they went commercial grade here with stainless steel backsplashes and a massive range.

You get double industrial sinks and enough counter space to prep for a massive crowd.

Up the grand stairs

Walking up the stairs is an experience because the landing is basically its own living room.

There is literally a fireplace right on the landing, flanked by towering stained-glass windows and built-in benches.

Looking down from the top floor, you really appreciate how much woodwork went into this build in 1902.

Bedrooms and offices

The second floor features a library area with wall-to-wall bookshelves and cozy seating.

The bedrooms are massive, complete with their own fireplaces and original hardwood flooring.

Even the home office has classic floral wallpaper and this huge roll-top desk.

One of the bathrooms has marble walls and a walk-in shower set right next to a stained-glass window.

The third-floor surprise

The best part of this entire house is the third floor. You walk up the final flight and find a massive ballroom.

There is tons of room for a media lounge, plus a small stage in the corner.

Tucked into the corner is a fully functional speakeasy bar with counter seating.

The bar area is lined with penny tiles and has plenty of open shelving.

There is even a bedroom up here, which is perfect for anyone who stays too late.

The bathroom on this level has actual brick floors, pedestal sinks, and a deep soaking tub.

The backyard

Outside, the brick exterior looks solid, and there is a great lawn area enclosed by a white picket fence.

You also get a matching brick garage off the alleyway.
