Historic Colonial Revival mansions don't hit the market that often and this Hazelwood Mansion is one of the most incredible properties in Indiana. It features a central portico with Ionic order columns and has a 2+1/2-story rear service wing. Initially when it changed ownership in 2017, historic preservation soon began with newly finished hardwood floors, all new plumbing, updated electrical, new technology installs, fresh paint inside and out, new elegant wallpaper, and many new lights. The foyer has an incredible 31ft ceiling with a custom spiral staircase. Every part of this home is custom made including the floors, trim, plastered crown mould, window mouldings, curved windows, hardware, etc. One of the first things you notice walking up the building is the custom glazed tile exterior and marble, which were allegedly imported from Italy. This is 14,372 SF of above grade finished space with another 5,657 SF in the full basement. The main floor bathrooms were converted to mens/women's stalls (3 each). There are 5 furnaces/AC and a mini-split. The roof is imported tile and there are extra tiles. Brief History: "The Hazelwood Mansion was built in 1915 by Alva Kitselman. The mansion was originally on 25 acres of land. Alva made his fortune by manufacturing the first steel roller skates by putting ball bearings into them. In 1900 Alva and his brothers started a wire fence factory in Muncie. The Hazelwood Mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1994. It was named Hazelwood after the property's abundant hazelnut trees." This is currently in use by Parlour, a local salon, but this could easily be converted to any office use. I can see how this property could house a collection of private salons, massage therapist, counseling services, yoga, or any number of multiple businesses with a common front desk. There's ample parking too and this is located just minutes from the heart of the Ball State campus. Here's your chance to own a piece of local history!
