1830 Greek Revival with Timeless Character and Country Charm

Built in 1830 and rich with nearly two centuries of history, this charming Greek Revival offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a truly special Chardon home. Originally built by early settler John King and moved to its present site in 1953, the home now rests on 2.25 picturesque acres, set well back from the road amid mature trees and open lawn. A Century Home plaque hints at the story within, where original hardwood floors, beautiful millwork, built-in cabinetry and period details have been lovingly preserved.

The gracious front living room features a wood-burning fireplace with original Delft tile and opens to a covered side porch—a perfect spot to take in the peaceful surroundings. The dining room enjoys its own connection to the outdoors, while the spacious eat-in kitchen with center island opens naturally to one of the home’s most distinctive spaces: a warm, paneled family room created from a relocated barn, with a beamed ceiling, fireplace and built-in cabinetry and bookcases. A spacious media room, added in 1989, provides another comfortable gathering space. A handsome office with bay window and built-ins, convenient laundry/mudroom and updated powder room complete the main level.

Upstairs are four bedrooms plus additional bonus space, offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, a reading room or creative space, along with a full bath.

What makes this property especially memorable, however, is the setting. With 2.25 acres to garden, gather and enjoy the seasons, there’s room for a little country life, too—the property is currently home to chickens and producing apple trees. Broad lawns, mature landscaping and the covered porch create the kind of peaceful setting that feels increasingly difficult to find, yet the heart of Chardon is just minutes away.

Thoughtfully maintained and updated while retaining the details that make an old house worth loving, this is more than a home with history. It is a home that has evolved through generations—and is ready for its next chapter.
