Why this home stands out
What separates 953 Old Ferry Road from the crowd is sheer square footage paired with an unusually high bath count — four full baths and a half bath for three bedrooms means everyone gets breathing room.

That combination of interior volume and elbow-room outdoors is rare in this price tier.
ALL OTHERS AREA 225 and the Edenton real estate market
Edenton, North Carolina carries a reputation that most small towns can only aspire to. Chartered in 1722, it is one of the oldest towns in the state, and its historic waterfront district along Edenton Bay draws visitors from across the region who come specifically to walk streets lined with preserved Colonial and Federal architecture. The broader Chowan County setting means you're trading suburban density for genuine open space — farms, tree lines, and tidal creeks define the landscape around Old Ferry Road. Buyers searching rein mls listings in northeastern North Carolina often discover Edenton late, which means the town still rewards those who look carefully. Life here moves at a pace you choose: the downtown waterfront is close enough for a weekend stroll, yet Old Ferry Road itself feels removed from any bustle. Chowan County governance keeps the tax base lean and the community tight-knit.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from 953 Old Ferry Road. The Country Store sits just 0.7 miles away — close enough to grab groceries without a planned trip. For a sit-down meal, Nixon Family Restaurant is practically at your doorstep at 0.2 miles, making weeknight dinners out an easy decision. Edenton's historic downtown, with its waterfront boardwalk, independent shops, and seasonal events, is a short drive east. Chowan County's rural character means you won't fight traffic getting anywhere, and the Albemarle Sound waterfront adds a scenic backdrop to everyday life.

Three bedrooms spread across 3,479 square feet means every room is actually large — not just listed as a bedroom. Four full baths eliminate the morning bottleneck entirely.
