419 W Charles Street Muncie, IN  47305

Welcome to the Joshua Truitt House! Originally built identical to the house next door, 419 W. Charles underwent extensive renovations between 1902-1906 and became the home we see today. Joshua Truitt was described as "a man of marked individuality, a good student, a close and logical reasoner, a man of strong convictions and had a high sense of justice." He was elected as Surveyor of Delaware County in 1856 and after that started a lumber business. Now is your chance to own this piece of Muncie history! As you walk up to the home, you will love the beautiful wrought iron fence and wrap around porch. This home features lots of gorgeous original windows, some with wavy glass and some with stained glass.

Upstairs there are 3 nice sized bedrooms and the additional large full bath with laundry area. Outside, the back yard is a great place to garden and there is a shed area off the back of the house.
