Land with Home for Sale in Elizabeth City, North Carolina
725 Griffin Swamp Rd, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
The rarest of gems -- introducing the Griffin-Perry-Markham House, circa 1754, one of the oldest surviving structures in the county and a true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Featured in Thomas R. Butchko's celebrated On the Shores of the Pasquotank, this magnificent estate has borne witness to over 270 years of American history, from colonial settlement through the Civil War and into the present day. Spanning 3,600+ sq ft, the home showcases extraordinary architectural details found only in history books: stately Doric pillars, graceful arched windows, and sweeping arched doorways. Originally built for the Griffin family and thoughtfully expanded in the 1850s, the property underwent a masterful, award-worthy restoration in 1974-1976 -- stripped to its original hand-hewn timbers and painstakingly brought back to life while honoring its colonial character. The estate features a circular drive, mature grounds, and on 2.62 acres. Own an irreplaceable piece of American history that literally predates the US Constitution!
