This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is conveniently located just 6 miles minutes from downtown New Bern and approximately 20 minutes from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. The lovely covered front porch warmly welcomes you and is large enough for rocking chairs to enjoy peaceful sunset views. Situated on a cul-de-sac lot, the home also features a spacious back deck and generous landscaping.
A welcoming foyer leads into the living room, highlighted by a vaulted ceiling, gas log fireplace, and beautiful hickory flooring. The dining area overlooks the garden and tree-lined backyard, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen offers abundant cabinet storage and meal prep space, along with a breakfast bar and cozy nook perfect for a small table or reading area.
A split-bedroom floor plan provides added privacy for both homeowners and guests. The primary bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet and an en suite bath with dual vanities, and a walk in tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a well-appointed bath with a tub/shower combination.
This home offers comfort, functionality, and charm throughout. Relax on the back deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard, ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings in privacy. Above the two-car garage, you'll find an unfinished bonus room with approximately 300 square feet of additional space. Already plumbed for a half bath, this versatile area offers excellent potential for a home office, guest suite, hobby room, or expanded living space while also providing convenient walk-up storage. The ROOF was replaced in 2025.
With its peaceful setting, thoughtful layout, and convenient location near shopping, dining, and local amenities, this home is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy comfortable coastal Carolina living.
