PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Set on ±2.87 acres in one of Granville's most private and established neighborhoods, this executive-quality two-story home offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience. The property sits deep within a mature tree canopy, yet shopping, dining, medical offices, and major commuter routes are approximately 10 minutes or less away. Newark, Pataskala, Johnstown, and New Albany are all within easy reach, and the rapidly growing technology corridor — including major data center developments from Intel, Amazon, and Google — is within approximately 15 minutes, offering an exceptional location for discerning buyers seeking privacy, quality, and convenient access to employment, commerce, and amenities throughout Central and East Central Ohio.
Built in 1990 and offering 2,256 square feet of finished living space, the home delivers a warm, traditionally-styled interior with hardwood floors throughout much of the main level, a spectacular beamed family room with custom built-ins and gas log fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a thoughtfully appointed primary suite. Outside, four distinct outdoor living spaces unfold across the property — a large screened porch, an open deck, a covered lower patio, and a level private lawn framed by mature trees on three sides.
A personal property auction is currently underway to clear the contents. The home will soon be ready for its next owner.
