Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully renovated historic home, perfectly situated behind a classic white picket fence in the heart of everything Downtown New Bern has to offer. Combining vintage charm with modern comforts, this one-of-a-kind residence offers the best of both worlds. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the home's stunning curb appeal—lush landscaping, a welcoming front entry, and that iconic picket fence set the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, rich hardwood floors, a pretty fireplace (that is the centerpiece of the coziest living room ever!) and original architectural details are complemented by thoughtfully updated features, including a spacious light filled kitchen with floor to ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, gorgeous granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. Top this off with a first floor bedroom, adjacent to a full bath, that could also be a den, office or dining room. Upstairs generous bedrooms, including a stunning primary suite, offer ample natural light and comfort, while updated bathrooms preserve the home's historic character with tasteful, contemporary touches. Whether you're hosting guests in the dining nook, relaxing by the fireplace, or cooking in the exquisite kitchen, every inch of this home invites warmth and hospitality! You will enjoy the large deck overlooking a peaceful backyard garden, perfect for entertaining, pets, or simply soaking in the beauty of your own private retreat. As if all of this is not a enough, there is a full basement, a multi-use building (which could possibly become a garage) complete with a patio, AND the house sits on nearly a quarter acre lot (larger than many Downtown) with several off street parking spaces. Located on a charming tree-lined street, this property is more than just a home—it's a piece of history you can call your own.
