Beautifully updated home in the desirable Taberna community, one of New Bern's premier neighborhoods. Natural light fills the open floor plan, highlighting all-new flooring, fresh paint, and custom blinds throughout. The inviting living room features a cozy corner fireplace that creates the perfect gathering space for family and friends. The updated kitchen makes meal preparation effortless with a center island--the true workhorse of the space--along with updated appliances, new granite countertops, new sinks and fixtures, and stylish new lighting. Just off the main living area, the comfortable Carolina Room offers the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or take in views of the expansive backyard. The spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a large walk-in closet and a beautifully updated private bath featuring new countertops, shower, and lighting. The guest bath has also been completely renovated with a new shower, sink, and fixtures. Upstairs, guests will appreciate their own private space with a loft area, a generous bedroom, and a third full bath--ideal for visitors or a quiet getaway within the home. The rear patio has been extended to enjoy the family barbeque, and the curb appeal was enhanced with all new shrubs. The garage door opener and keypad are new and accessable by MY Q app allowing the homeowner the ability to close the garage door from afar. The lawn is fullly maintained by the HOA. Outdoor living is just as appealing. It's a short walk to Taberna Country Club, offering amenities such as an 18-hole golf course, dining, tennis, and swimming. The neighborhood is conveniently located near Downtown New Bern Historic District with its unique shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Medical facilities are nearby, and commuters will appreciate being about 15 miles from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and roughly 30 miles from the beautiful Crystal Coast beaches.
