Just Closed in Granville: 5 Bedrooms, More Than 2 Acres and Timeless Original Character
A spacious home at 206 S Hawthorne Ave in Granville officially closed for $255,000 on September 15, 2026.
The property offers 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and approximately 2,992 square feet, along with more than two acres of land, a heated two-car garage, large deck and above-ground pool. It was represented by Mary Issac of The Cory Tanzer Group at Option Premier.
For buyers looking for a larger home with land, this closing provides an interesting look at the kind of space and architectural character available in Granville and Putnam County.
Original Character Meets Everyday Functionality
One of the strongest features of this home is how much original character remains intact.
The interior includes original hardwood flooring, bannisters, doors, built-ins and pocket doors, along with 9-foot ceilings that give the main level a more substantial feel.
The living room includes a windowed sitting area with built-in bookcases, while original pocket doors lead into the family room.
The formal dining room adds another distinctive detail with a built-in hutch and gas fireplace, creating a separate gathering space that reflects the home's traditional architecture.
Five Bedrooms With Flexible Main-Level Living
The layout offers flexibility across two levels.
A main-floor bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area and half bath provide options for guests, working from home or buyers who prefer having essential living spaces on the first floor.
Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with its own sitting area and two closets.
There is also additional walk-in attic storage, providing useful space beyond the property's nearly 3,000 square feet of finished living area.
More Than Two Acres, a Pool and Heated Garage
Outdoor space is another major part of the property.
The home sits on more than two acres, with a large deck and above-ground pool creating additional recreational space.
The property also includes a heated two-car attached garage, along with a shed and treehouse area with electricity available.
MLS syndication lists the parcel at approximately 2.25 acres, while the marketing description characterized it
as approximately 2.5 acres. For that reason, the safest description for buyers is simply more than two acres.
A new roof and new pool cover were also scheduled to be installed by closing.
What This Granville Closing Shows Buyers
Homes like this can be difficult to compare using price alone.
At $255,000, the buyer secured a property with five bedrooms, nearly 3,000 square feet, acreage, a heated garage, pool and preserved architectural details.
Buyers looking in Granville and surrounding Putnam County communities may therefore want to compare more than bedroom count. Lot size, outbuildings, garage configuration, property condition, historic features and major improvements can all influence how one home compares with another.
Buying or Selling a Home in Granville?
Properties with acreage often require buyers and sellers to think differently about value.
Lot size, home condition, wells or utilities where applicable, outbuildings, garages, older architectural features and major improvements can create meaningful differences between properties that may initially look similar online.
