Country living within the city limits! Nestled on a spacious 0.6-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion just minutes from Historic Downtown New Bern. Set well back from the road, the home welcomes you with a charming covered front porch leading into a cozy living room, open to the kitchen and dining area. The interior features a split-bedroom floorplan, updated bathrooms, a beautifully renovated laundry room with ample storage, and ceiling fans throughout. Enjoy the warmth of an updated mantle with a gas log fireplace, abundant natural light through the glass storm doors, and easy access to a large screened-in porch perfect for relaxing. Step outside to discover even more: a covered carport with storage, a fenced yard, a deck for grilling, and an outdoor shower. But that's not all—there's also a detached garage with electricity and a separate garden cottage, complete with a loft and a window unit for comfort. Recent updates include a metal roof (2017), hot water heater (2021), fresh paint, new fixtures, and a refreshed yard with a wooden privacy fence. Best of all, this high lot is located outside the flood zone and does not require flood insurance. Located just around the corner from Glenburnie Park on the Neuse River, you'll have access to a boat ramp, dog park, disc golf, pavilions, and more. This unique property is truly a hidden gem offering comfort, character, and convenience.
