Why this home stands out
Four full baths plus a half bath for a three-bedroom home is a rare configuration — it means every bedroom can function as a true private suite, with room left over for guests or a dedicated home office powder room. At 3,479 square feet, the layout has real breathing room, and the 1996 construction era typically brings solid bones, traditional framing, and the kind of room proportions that newer, tighter builds rarely match.
ALL OTHERS AREA 225 and the Edenton real estate market
Edenton, North Carolina is one of the oldest and most architecturally intact towns in the American South, sitting at the confluence of the Chowan River and the Albemarle Sound. Old Ferry Road traces the edge of town where the historic grid gives way to larger lots and quieter surroundings, putting you close to Edenton's celebrated waterfront without being in the middle of it. The area carries a genuine small-town character — tree-lined streets, neighbors who wave, and a pace that feels deliberate rather than slow. Chowan County's low density means you get space without sprawl, and the town's active preservation culture keeps the surrounding streetscapes genuinely beautiful. Whether you're drawn by the water, the history, or simply the idea of living somewhere that hasn't been overbuilt, Edenton real estate on the Old Ferry Road corridor delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find in coastal North Carolina.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from 953 Old Ferry Road. Downtown Edenton's waterfront district — with its restaurants, coffee shops, and independent retailers — is just a short drive away. Edenton's historic waterfront park and boat launch put Albemarle Sound access within easy reach for boating and fishing. Grocery options, pharmacies, and medical services are available within Edenton proper. The broader region connects you to Elizabeth City to the east and the Outer Banks corridor to the southeast, making weekend escapes genuinely easy. Historic sites like the Cupola House and Barker House are practically neighbors.
