The Griffin is defined by possibilities—space to live, create, entertain, relax, and enjoy Northeast North Carolina country living while keeping Elizabeth City close at hand. Discover 781 Griffin Swamp Road affectionately known by its current owners as "The Griffin." Set along historic Griffin Swamp Road, the name feels fitting.

The updated kitchen offers plenty of room for cooking and entertaining while connecting naturally with the spacious living areas. Additional office/flex space provides options for work, hobbies, recreation, or guests. Outside, the in-ground pool creates a backyard destination for warm North Carolina days.
