Built in 1930 and completely renovated top to bottom in 2024, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,144 square feet of thoughtfully updated, move-in ready living just minutes from the heart of downtown. Recognized by the New Bern Preservation Foundation as one of only 72 properties contributing to the architectural heritage of New Bern, this home carries local significance while offering the freedom of modern ownership--it is not on the National Historic Registry. The 2024 renovation goes far beyond cosmetic updates. Major system improvements include a rebuilt roof, new HVAC system, and updated electrical and plumbing, providing long-term reliability and peace of mind. The encapsulated crawlspace and termite bond further enhance the home's structural integrity and maintenance profile. Inside, the home features durable LVP flooring throughout, a fully updated kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances, and a washer and dryer (purchased in 2024). A brand new Kinetico water softener system adds to the home's everyday comfort and efficiency. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting, with both front and rear porches designed for relaxing and entertaining. The beautifully landscaped front and back yards, along with a vinyl privacy fence, create a private and welcoming setting. A 10x12 shed with power, built-in shelving, and workbenches offers excellent flexibility for storage, hobbies, or workspace needs. Additional features include keyless entry, gas availability, and no HOA. The property is located in Flood Zone X, meaning no flood insurance is required. As an added benefit, the home is offered with a home warranty and a 1% temporary rate buy-down with a preferred lender. Ideally positioned just minutes from downtown, this location offers exceptional walkability--enjoy easy access to Union Point Park, the Neuse River Riverwalk, waterfront dining, local shops, and year-round community events. Whether it's a morning coffee run, an evening stroll along the river, or a night out downtown, you can truly leave the car at home and enjoy the lifestyle this location provides.
