It’s not often that a home like this comes to market, especially in Amelia. Amelians know it as the “Potts House,” and it’s my 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 to represent it.

But this home isn’t just stately—it’s lived in. Loved. Designed for real life, with cozy nooks, updated kitchen and baths, and the kind of everyday comfort that makes you want to stay awhile.
