Restoration Alert: Hubbard House, 1860 Brick Italianate in New Carlisle, Indiana


LISTING DETAILS

Nestled in the countryside outside New Carlisle, Hubbard House is an eye-catching historic house with breathtaking original details inside and out. Constructed around 1860 in the Italianate style, the property received a Queen Anne makeover in the 1890s with the addition of a porch, altered roof shape, and solarium. After serving as a home for the Hubbard family for many years, the property became part of a home for the aged in the 1920s. Indiana Landmarks is working with owner Greencroft Communities to find a buyer who will restore and reuse the house.

The house offers approximately 2,300 square feet with highly ornate woodwork, fireplaces, and exquisite parquet floors. A two-story addition built in the mid-twentieth century adds another 2,200 square feet with a floor plan flexible for many reuses. The house will need a complete renovation including new heating, plumbing, exterior restoration work, and roof. Two fairly new high velocity air conditioning systems have been installed. The electric has been upgraded with new wiring and panels. A full basement is under the entire house.
Located about 20 minutes from South Bend and 90 minutes from Chicago, the site would make an excellent inn, office, or destination restaurant. Protective covenants will be included as part of the sale requiring review of exterior changes. The successful buyer will demonstrate financial capacity to undertake the project and experience with rehabilitation of historic properties. The site will be rezoned by Greencroft once a buyer with these qualifications is identified. Floor plans and additional photos are available.

Indiana Landmarks and its affiliate Historic New Carlisle will host an open house for interested parties on June 8, 2019, from 9 a.m.-Noon EST. For more information about the property, contact Todd Zeiger, tzeiger@indianalandmarks.org, 574-232-4534.

FROM THE AGENT via Old House Dreams

From Todd: “…the parcel will be approximately two acres. There are presently no bathrooms in the main house and common baths in what was the rear wing addition. Our sense is that it would be fairly straight forward to add a full bath in the main house adjacent to what could be the master bedroom. The rear addition could be gutted to accommodate a host of new uses including additional bedrooms, bathrooms etc.
Please make sure to mention that this house will require all new mechanicals, electrical, plumbing and finishes. The successful buyer will have to demonstrate experience with historic renovations of this scope and the financial capacity to undertake the work.”
