    What's special

    Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully renovated historic home, framed by a classic white picket fence, and located in the heart of Downtown New Bern. Blending historic character with modern updates, this exceptional property offers charm, warmth, space, and versatility. From the moment you arrive, the home makes an unforgettable first impression with beautiful curb appeal, mature landscaping, and a welcoming front entry. Inside, hardwood floors, original architectural details, and a beautiful fireplace--the centerpiece of what may be the coziest living room ever--create a home that feels both elegant and inviting. The custom kitchen, designed for entertaining, is a true showstopper, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, gorgeous granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and plenty of room to gather. A first-floor bedroom adjacent to a full bath provides flexibility and could just as easily serve as a den, home office, or formal dining room. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms are filled with natural light, including a large primary suite with a walk in closet, while updated bathrooms complement the home's historic character. Outside, a large deck overlooks a peaceful backyard garden--perfect for parties, pets, or simply enjoying your own private retreat. And there's more! A full basement provides storage space, while the newly finished, heated and cooled ''Carriage House'', complete with a closet and half bath, offers endless possibilities as a studio, office, hobby space, guest retreat, or entertaining area. All of this sits on nearly a quarter-acre lot--a unique find Downtown--with multiple off-street parking spaces. Located on a tree-lined street, this is more than a beautifully renovated home. It's a rare opportunity to own a special piece of Downtown New Bern history while enjoying the home's proximity to everything Downtown has to offer.
