1814 Trent Boulevard, New Bern, NC 28560

Location is everything & the ''THE MAGNOLIA,'' by ENC Custom Homes at 1814 Trent Blvd has it! Mere minutes from downtown & I-42, this 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath SHOWSTOPPER boasts 8'' baseboards, accent beams & 9' ceilings (both floors). 2 covered porches feature stained wood panels & ceiling fans for those warm summer nights. The stately front door begins the welcome into a living space that surprises with an all-season, electric fireplace framed from floor to ceiling, in a custom, black, wood surround. Tall windows throughout anchor the home & are a warm backdrop to the roomy dining area which transitions seamlessly into the sleek kitchen. A slide-in gas range (wifi ready), a drawer-style, under-the-counter microwave, solid countertops, tile backsplash, upgraded cabinetry & oversized island are just a few of the upgrades found. There's even a pantry in addition to all of the cabinet space. Careful attention to detail is evident as arched, wooden corbels frame the covered side entrance. Just inside (& flooded with natural light) lies the perfect spot for doggie beds, litter boxes or muddy cleats plus a large closet for all of that gear is just across from the wash room & half bath! Privacy entices you through the dreamy, main-floor master bedroom (with its dark, board-and-batten accent wall) into the spacious ensuite with tiled, walk-in shower (with bench seat & transom window), walk-in closet with wood shelves (actually found in every closet), dual sinks & an enclosed toilet room. Just off of the kitchen, dappled sunlight from the upstairs bath dances against modern, metal railings which contrast beautifully with the wooden staircase. The cozy, left bedroom has a large closet & access to the mechanical room while quiet bedroom #3 has extra, conditioned storage. Zoned HVAC, NO HOA & flood zone X are a plus! Parking for a golf cart, RV, boat & numerous cars & the builder has optional garage plans available! Come live this southern life in style! Firm does not hold EMD.
