Why this home stands out
What sets 953 Old Ferry Road apart is the sheer scale of living space relative to its peaceful, low-traffic surroundings. With 3,479 square feet, three bedrooms, and four and a half bathrooms, there's room to spread out in ways that feel rare outside of major metro areas.

ALL OTHERS AREA 225 and the Edenton real estate market
Edenton, North Carolina carries a reputation as one of the most beautifully preserved colonial towns on the East Coast, and Old Ferry Road sits comfortably within that unhurried, history-rich atmosphere.

Edenton itself fronts the Albemarle Sound and the Chowan River, and the town's waterfront, centuries-old architecture, and walkable historic district make everyday life here feel genuinely distinctive. Chowan County provides the municipal framework, and the town's small but tight-knit community means neighbors tend to know each other. If you're searching for Edenton NC real estate that trades suburban sameness for genuine regional character, Old Ferry Road delivers exactly that.
