About This Home

A rare opportunity to own a distinctive historic property just minutes from downtown Muncie. Located at 607 E. Charles Street in the beautiful Emily Kimbrough historic area, this 1855 structure offers more than 4,000 square feet of space, two parcels, and dedicated off-street parking — all at an exceptionally approachable price point. For more than 50 years, the property was home to The Bargain Box, a longtime community organization familiar to generations of Muncie residents. Today, the building is ready for its next chapter and offers tremendous potential for an owner-user, investor, nonprofit, creative business, professional office, studio, retail concept, or redevelopment opportunity. The interior offers large rooms, multiple levels, flexible spaces, and much of the character you would expect from a historic property of this era. The property has also benefited from substantial investment and improvements over the years, making it much more than simply an older building in need of a vision. Another significant advantage is the second parcel, which provides an asphalt parking area with decorative fencing — a valuable feature for a property located this close to downtown. The location is equally compelling. The property sits among some of Muncie’s most recognizable historic homes while remaining just blocks from downtown, the Madison Street corridor, restaurants, businesses, entertainment, and ongoing redevelopment throughout the central city. With more than 4,000 square feet, two lots, private parking, historic character, and an asking price of $178,000, the possibilities here deserve a closer look. What could you create at 607 E. Charles Street?
