2700 W Berkshire Dr

I’ve known this home all my life and it’s been one of the most desired homes owned by some of Muncie’s more influential families.  It’s truly one of the best that Muncie and the surrounding areas have to offer at this price point.  This fabulous home offers 4,290 total square feet of living space that features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, living room, family room, formal dining room, huge formal office/den, main floor laundry, screen in porch, another more private office, 2+ car garage, large outbuilding, and it sits on an exquisite piece of property that expands to 3 lots.   Pulling up to the home you’ll immediately recognize how special this location is.  The entire lot is just under an acre in Halteman Village Addition — there’s nothing quite like it with its soaring trees and impeccable landscaping.  Enter the foyer with wrap around staircase and you have immediate access to the huge sunken living room with custom wainscoting and sideboards, handmade marble fireplace with ornate carvings, dining room wet bar, and other accessories that are normally found in old historic estate homesites. In fact, this custom carpentry is from an old historic Ft Wayne hotel.  The formal dining room is quite large and features a hidden wet bar and an entire wall of hidden storage that is perfect for all your entertaining needs.  The executive office space off the dining room features 2 walls of built-in custom cabinets and shelving and is now used as a billiards room.  The kitchen has ample cabinet space, newer appliances, solid surface tops, and a large pantry.  Of the kitchen is a nice breakfast table with access to the expansive back yard.  There’s also a smaller bedroom off the South end of the home.  On the North end is a large family room that features a lovely fireplace that’s been rebuilt (chimney too).  The laundry room off the garage was redesigned for greater efficiency and there’s another smaller office off the laundry room. 4 more large bedrooms are upstairs and many have original parquet wood flooring.  The master suite is especially large and connects to what was originally a nursery room. Every bedroom has ample closet space.  The backyard space is truly one of the best parts of this property and has an amazing fence. It’s surrounded by the most incredible steel custom rod fencing and the entire back yard was redesigned for better irrigation and includes underground drainage storage too.  The irrigation system has 71 heads and works great.  The pavers were all installed by Wasson’s (stones are coated for less wear every 3-5 years).  Here are some other bullet points:  Roof (2017), Entire exterior of the house painted (2017), interior paint (2018), air handler installed (2000), and could be modified to be a full forced-air system.  It’s currently heated with ceiling cable heat. One AC unit is newer (2012).  All electric home, but Seller states Gas lines are available at the street. Much of the carpet is newer from 2014.  $350/mo electric budget. 4 new toilets. New cornice boards, new faucets, Water heater for the lower bath (2016).  Newer insulation added to the upstairs.  Water Softener (2010).  All stormwater connections are newer installed by the city.  Much more to discover.
