About this home

Own a remarkable piece of Coffeyville history. The Charles M. Ball House—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—offers nearly 6,000 sq ft of beautifully preserved architecture paired with thoughtful structural and mechanical updates. The home is zoned for bed-and-breakfast use and includes two full apartments, making it ideal for guest lodging or supplemental income. It also qualifies for Kansas Historic Tax Credits, and may be eligible for the Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit if operated as an income-producing property. This Queen Anne Free Classic residence features important improvements to the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems, ensuring long-term stability while maintaining its historic character. The foundation was professionally reinforced with 32 steel piers. The fully enclosed front porch has been enhanced for comfort and year-round enjoyment. Inside, the grand foyer showcases 11.5-ft ceilings, original woodwork, a stone fireplace, and a sweeping 5-ft-wide oak staircase. The first floor includes a living room with bay window and fireplace, formal dining room, study, and kitchen with some original cabinetry, plus a nearby laundry area and half bath. There off the kitchen the screened back porch has window inserts and shutters for 3-season use. Tucked away behind a narrow doorway is the back stairway that feels like a secret passage to the second floor. The second floor offers a bright atrium, three bedrooms, two linen closets, and a full bath with original fixtures. The primary bedroom includes a bay window, two closets, and a private three-quarter bath. The third floor features a 552-sq-ft apartment with kitchen, bath, and studio-style living/sleeping area.
