Some historic houses are beautiful places to live; others are architectural landmarks that preserve a piece of a city’s identity.
707 W 4th St, Greenville, NC 27834 | Listed at $399,900

The Albion Dunn House in Greenville, North Carolina, offers both possibilities. Built around 1915 for former Greenville mayor Albion Dunn, this distinguished residence was designed by the renowned architectural firm Benton & Benton and combines the generous proportions of Colonial Revival design with Craftsman-inspired details. Its expansive covered front porch creates an inviting introduction, while the traditional exterior hints at the craftsmanship waiting inside.
The interior retains many of the features old-house enthusiasts treasure, including original wood flooring, elegant pocket doors, crown molding, exposed structural beams, and high ceilings that lend the rooms a sense of scale and history.
Formal living and dining spaces offer an opportunity to restore the home’s original entertaining areas, while a private den provides a quieter retreat for reading, work, or study. The flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms, two bonus rooms, a kitchen, and a separate kitchenette, creating possibilities for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or a carefully planned home-based business, subject to local regulations.
Two laundry areas, a full attic, and a partial basement add practical utility, while a wired storage shed, carport parking, and two separate driveways contribute to the property’s functionality.
The house has previously been used as an Airbnb and has undergone partial restoration, but the listing makes clear that additional updates and finishing work remain; it is being sold AS-IS.
That makes this an especially interesting prospect for a buyer who appreciates historic architecture and understands the care, planning, and investment that a substantial older home can require.
Set on approximately 0.26 acres near Uptown Greenville and East Carolina University, the property combines historic presence with convenient access to the city’s cultural, educational, and commercial life.
Listed at $399,900, the Albion Dunn House is an opportunity to help shape the next chapter of a locally designated historic landmark—preserving its original details while thoughtfully completing the restoration of a home with a story worth carrying forward.
