Set on nearly four acres just outside the heart of New Bern, this three-story home offers the rare combination of refined country living and wide-open freedom to grow. Wrapped in privacy with no city taxes, the setting immediately invites a slower pace—rocking chairs on the front porch, quiet mornings, and space that feels truly your own. Inside, a classic foyer and staircase set the tone, leading to a living room warmed by a gas log fireplace and a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring quartz countertops, tile backsplash, double wall oven, a pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook. Formal dining adds a touch of tradition, while the spacious great room opens seamlessly to the back patio, where everyday living extends outdoors. Beyond the doors, the fenced backyard becomes a private retreat with a heated and cooled saltwater pool, built-in fire pit, and storage shed—perfect for entertaining, unwinding, or enjoying long summer days under the open sky. All bedrooms are located on the second floor, including a generous primary suite with a large walk-in closet and en suite bath offering dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The third-floor bonus room provides flexible space for work, play, or guests. With ample acreage for a workshop, future barns, recreational space, or simply room to roam, this property is designed for those who crave privacy, versatility, and an outdoor-forward lifestyle—without giving up convenient access to New Bern's dining, shopping, and waterfront charm. PID 8-200 -17001 is included in the sale for additional acreage. Contact us today for a private showing!
