This beautifully updated 1930 bungalow in Downtown New Bern has been completely redone top to bottom in 2024, blending modern updates with convenience and functionality. Located just minutes from downtown, the waterfront, and local favorites, you can truly leave the car at home and enjoy everything New Bern has to offer.
The extensive 2024 renovation includes a rebuilt roof, HVAC system, updated electrical, updated plumbing, stainless kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, LVP flooring throughout, encapsulated crawlspace, and Kinetico water softener system. A current termite bond is already in place, offering added peace of mind.
Additional improvements continue beyond the major systems. A recent home inspection completed in March 2026 provides even more confidence for buyers looking for a move-in ready home. Interior features include beautiful plantation shutters and Murphy beds in two bedrooms, creating flexibility for guests, office space, or maximizing functionality.
Enjoy both covered front and rear porches, beautifully landscaped front and back outdoor spaces, a vinyl privacy fence, and a 10x12 powered shed complete with shelving and workbenches.
Located in Flood Zone X with no HOA.
Recognized by the New Bern Preservation Foundation as one of only 72 homes helping preserve New Bern's architectural heritage (not listed on the National Historic Registry).
Offered with a home warranty and lender credit available if financing with participating lender.
Move-in ready truly means move-in ready here.
