    What's special

    A sprawling almost half-acre rural lot surrounds this beautifully designed one-level residence, offering an exceptional blend of country charm and interior comfort within the Manning Estates neighborhood. A welcoming covered porch introduces the home, opening directly into a sunlit living room that acts as the principal gathering hub, complete with rich flooring and a cozy fireplace. This central space flows fluidly into a dedicated dining area, perfectly positioned for intimate dinners or seasonal gatherings. Directly adjacent, the spacious kitchen serves as a cook's delight, boasting a central preparation island, crisp cabinetry, and an abundance of counter space that transitions into a functional laundry and utility room with cabinet storage. The intelligent floor plan layout places all three bedrooms in one wing of the home. Tranquility awaits in the primary bedroom suite. This main-level sanctuary features generous dimensions, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a double vanity, separate glass shower, garden tub, and linen closet. Two comfortable guest bedrooms and a convenient central full bathroom complete the wing, ensuring ample space for guests or room versatility. Transitioning to the rear of the property, doors from the main living area open out to a massive uncovered back deck, presenting an incredible venue for enjoying nature and relaxation overlooking the expansive fully fenced backyard. A substantial attached exterior storage building adds exceptional utility for organization and outdoor equipment. Ideally situated to experience the best of Eastern North Carolina, this beautiful property provides a peaceful countryside retreat while maintaining convenient highway access. Enjoy a tranquil lifestyle that remains an easy commute to medical facilities, schools, MCAS Camp Lejeune and MCAS Cherry Point, and New Bern's historic, vibrant downtown full of scenic riverfront views, celebrated dining, and boutique shopping.
