Welcome to Amelia’s beloved “Potts House.” Built in 1924, this stately brick Colonial sits on over 1.5 acres of manicured grounds and offers over 6,300 sq ft in the MAIN HOUSE of beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated living space across 3 levels. Plus a 660 sq ft APARTMENT/GUEST HOUSE of additional living space. This home is full of historic character but with today’s modern comfort.

The main house features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths, with intricate moldings, trim work, and hardwood floors throughout. A grand foyer welcomes you with dual closets and a stunning curved staircase. Formal living and dining rooms offer perfect spaces for entertaining, while cozier family areas provide everyday comfort.

The updated kitchen is a delight with leathered Carrara marble counters and backsplash, gas cooktop, wall oven, custom cabinetry, and a large island. Just off the kitchen, a butler’s pantry showcases the home’s original cabinetry, soapstone counters, and wet bar. One of the highlights of the home is the brick-walled morning room, drenched in natural light with views of the lush backyard and hardscaping. The home also features a home office/setting room with it’s own entrance. All bathrooms have been fully updated with custom tile work and high-end finishes.

The English basement is conditioned and includes a full bath, multiple storage area, and flex spaces ideal for a gym, craft area, game room, workshop, etc.

Outside, enjoy your own private oasis—featuring over 45 varieties of flowering plants and shrubs in a park-like setting. Relax or host guests on the 30×18 covered veranda, surrounded by mature landscaping and peaceful views.

Additional features include a 3-car detached garage with a 660 sq ft apartment above, plus a separate 1-car garage for extra storage or workshop space.

The property includes many updated systems including a newer 25K Whole House Generator A true blend of historic character and modern comforts—this remarkable estate is one of Amelia’s most iconic homes.

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.
Built in 1924 with a level of craftsmanship you rarely see today, this grand estate stands with quiet confidence—solid, elegant, and timeless. Inside you’ll find historic details at every turn—ornate trim work, rich hardwood floors, and a gracious foyer that feels like it belongs in a storybook.
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.
