Imagine stepping outside your front door and having the very best of historic Downtown New Bern just moments away. From 405 Hancock Street, simply cross Broad Street and you're within a block of the locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques and galleries along Middle and Craven streets. Walk to Tryon Palace, stroll along the waterfront, meet friends for dinner or enjoy the festivals and community events that bring downtown to life throughout the year. This is historic-district living at its best--charming, vibrant and wonderfully walkable. Furnishings available for purchase. An appealing option for those planning to use the property as a vacation home or rental.
Known as the Thomas J. Turner House, the home shares its origins with the neighboring Mary Turner House and was built by the same craftsman. As a contributing property in New Bern's Historic District, it has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its historic character while providing the comforts today's buyers appreciate. Ample storage space and generous attic storage add modern convenience.
Inside, you'll find a stunning chef's kitchen with premium appliances and a gas range, along with a lovely primary suite featuring a spacious dressing room and spa-inspired bath. Hardwood floors, updated electrical and plumbing, an encapsulated basement and off-street parking add both comfort and peace of mind.
The screened porch and private courtyard offer inviting places to relax, entertain or gather around the firepit after an evening downtown.
Move-in ready and ideally located, 405 Hancock Street offers more than a beautiful historic home--it offers the opportunity to enjoy the true Downtown New Bern lifestyle every day.
