Single Family Residence In Granville

Some homes are built. This one was preserved.

Originally constructed in the late 1700s by Christopher Manwaring, this extraordinary residence carries with it more than two centuries of American architectural history relocated from New London, Connecticut to Potter’s Field with a new poured foundation, electrical, and mechanicals in 1995, where its storied character has been thoughtfully honored and beautifully curated.

Seven original fireplaces, five currently working, anchor the home’s authentic soul - 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. Beneath your feet, original hardwood floors flow seamlessly from room to room, interrupted only at the entry where honed tumbled marble transitions effortlessly into the kitchen. The chef’s kitchen offers today’s conveniences with high-end appliances, a large island with seating, and is centered around an oversized stone fireplace.

The current stewards have curated this residence with a discerning eye layering beautiful wallpaper, texture, designer lighting, fixtures, and antique furnishings against the home’s historic bones in a way that feels deeply personal and entirely unforgettable. Four bedrooms and four and a half baths across 3,058 above-grade square feet, with an additional 1,365 square feet of finished lower level living space, office, optional bedroom, and laundry.

Outside, a beautifully appointed heated saltwater pool and patio invite summer entertaining across multiple and cozy outdoor venues. A detached three-car garage and charming chicken coop complete a property that is as functional as it is extraordinary.

Ideally positioned on a gentle hill just moments from the charm of downtown Granville, 250 Potters Lane is a property of distinction -relocated, reconstructed, and lovingly cherished across more than two centuries.
