Why this home stands out
What sets 741 Swamp Road apart is the combination of generous square footage for a three-bedroom home and a rural Perquimans County setting that's genuinely hard to find close to the Hampton Roads metro. Built in 2004, the home hits a sweet spot — modern enough for worry-free systems, yet established enough to feel like a real place with roots. If space, quiet, and elbow room matter to you, this address delivers.
