Welcome to Saint Cyprian Rectory, one of the most historically significant properties in Downtown.

You and your visitors will be delighted by the welcoming front porch which creates the perfect entry to the interior with its beautiful wainscoting, moldings & doors and multiple fireplaces with stunning brick surrounds. Invite guests to dine in the elegant formal dining room or enjoy modern amenities in the updated kitchen with dining nook. Take advantage of the den with pretty built-ins for work, entertainment or relaxing. Upstairs, you'll find three generous size bedrooms including a primary bedroom en-suite. All bathrooms are nicely updated. As if all that is not enough, this home has also been updated with modern conveniences including exterior entry cameras and a Bluetooth system to enjoy music outside and inside. Situated on a large lot with a shed for woodworking, tools, etc. and lots of parking that may accommodate a garage (with HPC and City approval), the back yard with a porch and a great deck is perfect for entertaining. Located a stone's throw from the Neuse River and close to everything Downtown has to offer, including nightlife, dining and the riverfront, this beautiful home is move in ready for its lucky new owner.
