Property Description

This 1900 historic gem (some records suggesting an even earlier origin!) offers 1,671 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. It features 1 large bedroom plus an adjoining extra room—easily converted into a true second bedroom with the simple addition of a door. You'll also find 249 sq ft of finished, unheated space on the third floor, not included in the listed total square footage! The first floor features a freshly painted kitchen with modern touches that respect the home's original charm, a formal dining room w/ fireplace, inviting living room, & a spacious utility room with washer/dryer plus a half bath. Upstairs, enjoy a beautifully renovated bathroom with custom tile, a large walk-in shower, elegant fixtures, & toilet with bidet. The spacious primary bedroom opens to an additional room- perfect for a nursery, guest space, or office- with easy potential to become a fully private second bedroom. The third floor offers 249 sq ft of finished, unheated space—great for hidden storage or could be converted to additional living space by addition of heat/air. Stunning wood floors flow throughout most of the home, enhancing its timeless appeal. Relax on the peaceful, covered back porch or step into the partially fenced backyard with a charming brick patio—perfect for grilling & entertaining. A rare find for downtown: a detached garage/storage building PLUS a private attached driveway—ideal for off-street parking, especially during MumFest, parades, & busy weekends! PRIME location! This home is located right across the street from the Firemen's Museum and is on the Trolley Tour route. Whether you want to grab a bite to eat, sip a local coffee/cocktail, stroll the waterfront, tour the Palace, shop the farmers market, or simply take in the rich arts and history- everything downtown New Bern has to offer is truly right outside your front door. Ideal as a full-time home, second home, or even short-term rental, this beauty is sure to be a sound investment!
