Welcome to Griffin House, a Timeless Treasure in the Heart of Historic Greenville

The Griffin House is one of Greenville's most cherished historic homes, located in the sought-after Historic District of the Tar River University Neighborhood Area (TRUNA). This home built in the mid1920s has been cared for by the present owners for over 20 years. This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and a deep sense of pride.

From the wide covered front porch to the original hardwood floors and handcrafted cabinetry, every detail reflects quality and care. Beautiful renovations include a refitted kitchen and three completely redesigned bathrooms. Other improvements include a basement utility room, new roof and a recently installed HVAC system which provides four climate-control zones.

The layout offers flexibility and flow. The main level includes spacious living and dining areas, kitchen, bedroom and full bath, and rear mudroom with bathroom. There is an abundance of natural light throughout. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, and a bathroom with custom made cabinetry and walk-in shower.

Outside, the mature landscape feels like a private garden retreat. Fig and loquat trees, crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, azaleas, and roses bloom across the seasons. The beautiful large front porch and oversized screened-in porch are ideal settings for slow mornings or quiet evenings.

Just a short walk from ECU, downtown Greenville, and the Greenways, this home offers rare space, privacy, and charm in one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods. It's ready to welcome its next family who will appreciate its story, beauty, and heart.
