Why this home stands out

Built in 1949, this four-bedroom home carries character from its era while offering genuine square footage—3,100 square feet across two-plus baths. The lot gives you space to breathe. Whether you're drawn to older construction's craftsmanship or you see renovation potential, the bones are here. Location-wise, you're in a quieter pocket of Elizabeth City with a reasonable commute to the base.

ALL OTHERS AREA 215 and the Elizabeth City real estate market

Griffin Swamp Road sits in the quieter reaches of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The area has a rural feel with room between homes and established trees. Elizabeth City itself is a working waterfront town with deep roots in maritime history and a tight-knit community vibe. The Pasquotank River runs through town, and downtown offers local shops, restaurants, and services within a short drive. US 17 connects you north to the Outer Banks or south toward the Tidewater region. Daily life here moves at a steadier pace than the sprawl of Hampton Roads, but you're still within reach of regional amenities.

What's nearby

Elizabeth City's downtown core sits about 10 minutes away, with groceries, pharmacies, and casual dining scattered throughout town. The Pasquotank River waterfront is accessible for recreation and is central to the town's identity. Nearby parks offer green space and outdoor access. The Outer Banks beaches are roughly 45 minutes north via US 17. Regional shopping and services in the larger Hampton Roads area are about 90 minutes south.
