One of the oldest surviving homes in the historic port city of Georgetown, the John and Mary Perry Cleland House stands at the corner of Front and St. James Street. This tidewater raised cottage, constructed in 1737 by John and Mary Cleland, provides a rare glimpse into early American Architecture, featuring original moldings, Heart of Pine floors, Georgian style mantels, ceiling medallions, and four fireplaces. A recently upgraded kitchen, formal living and dining areas, three bedrooms, two baths, lovely sunroom, and an expansive front porch complete this historic property. Views of the Sampit River and a backyard made secluded by mature landscaping add to the charm of this architectural gem.
