The Story of 211 S Main

Built by Thomas Evans in 1846, this home has been part of Granville's story for more than 175 years. Early residents included the village night watchman and one of Granville's early educators. The home has also been featured in Country Living magazine.

Today it's #13 on the Village of Granville's historic registry, and it's been carefully preserved and updated for the way people live now.

A Historic Home, Thoughtfully Updated

This historic Village property has been thoughtfully restored over the years while preserving its original character and charm. Set on 0.16 acres in the heart of Granville, the home features a private, fenced backyard.

Inside, the open eat-in kitchen offers abundant storage and updated stainless appliances (2020). The kitchen opens to an addition that created a spacious family room with a fireplace, lofted ceilings, and beautiful views of the backyard. Original exposed beams add warmth and character throughout, and a clawfoot tub is one of many classic details that have been lovingly preserved. The home features two gas fireplaces.

The property offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 half baths, 2,800+ sq ft of living space, including a lower-level suite with a private entry — ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. The renovated carriage house spans two floors and offers 800+ sq ft of flexible space for a variety of uses.

Recent improvements include a new roof (2023) with new gutters and downspouts, interior and exterior paint, new doors, skylights, a newly sealed 5-car blacktop driveway, and updated landscaping.
