250 Potters Lane, Granville, OH 43023

Property Description

Some homes are built. This one was preserved. Constructed in the late 1700s by Christopher Manwaring, this extraordinary residence carries more than two centuries of American architectural history. In 1995, it was relocated from New London, Connecticut to Potter's Field, where it was given a new poured foundation, updated electrical, and modern mechanicals -- all while its storied character was carefully preserved. Seven original fireplaces remain. Five still work, each a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage that define this remarkable property. The main staircase ascends with quiet authority, flanked by period trim details that no reproduction could replicate. Original hardwood floors flow from room to room underfoot, interrupted only at the entry, where honed tumbled marble transitions into the kitchen. The chef's kitchen marries modern convenience with old-world character -- high-end appliances, a large island with seating, and an oversized stone fireplace anchoring it all. Four bedrooms and four and a half baths span 3,058 square feet above grade, with an additional 1,365 square feet of finished lower level offering an office, an optional bedroom, and laundry. Throughout, the current stewards have layered the home's historic bones with a discerning eye -- beautiful wallpaper, designer lighting, and antique furnishings that feel deeply personal and entirely unforgettable. Outside, a heated saltwater pool and patio invite summer entertaining across several cozy outdoor spaces. A detached three-car garage and a charming chicken coop complete a property that is as functional as it is extraordinary. Positioned on a hill just moments from downtown Granville, 250 Potters Lane is a property of distinction -- relocated, reconstructed, and lovingly cherished across more than two centuries.
