111 W Queen Street, Edenton, NC 27932

The Murden-Brown house - ca 1795 and possibly later - has an interesting history in Edenton, having served in the mid 1800s as both a girls school and then the Edenton Baptist Church parsonage. Just prior to the turn of the century, it was remodeled by famed Edenton builder Frank Fred Muth, a noted expert at the Colonial Revival style. The house today is much like Muth designed. The center hall plan home offers formal living and dining rooms, a galley style kitchen, and primary bedroom on the first floor. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms share a full bath. Notable features include 4 fireplaces, elongated four-over-four sash windows, beautiful wood floors, and topiary shutter accents original to Muth's era. Currently home to a Master Gardener, the grounds are bursting with blooms and lovely, established plantings. A precious cottage in the backyard is an adorable guest house with one spacious room, a small kitchenette and full bath. A large shed on the property is ideal for a workshop or storage. This impeccably maintained handsome home is just steps away from downtown Edenton's shops, restaurants and the waterfront. Enjoy living in the heart of historic downtown Edenton!
