This historic charmer in the sought-after Riverside District offers the perfect blend of character and function, just minutes from everything you love about downtown New Bern. Welcome onto the inviting rocking chair front porch and into a thoughtfully laid out two-story home with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and timeless charm throughout. The foyer greets you with a classic staircase, and the living room draws you in with a cozy gas log fireplace that flows seamlessly into the formal dining room. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinet and counter space and opens to a covered back porch leading to a large patio, and a fully fenced backyard--complete with a detached storage shed and plenty of room to entertain or unwind. Tucked just past the kitchen is a convenient office, perfect for remote work or a creative space. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with their own en suite bath and gas log fireplace--rare and delightful touches that add to the home's warmth and appeal. Updated with vinyl windows, a tankless water heater, encapsulated crawlspace, and newer roof, plumbing, and electrical (all approximately 10 years old), this home blends vintage charm with modern peace of mind. Whether you're heading to dinner downtown, biking along the riverfront, or sipping coffee on the porch, you'll love life in this gem of a location. Contact us today for your private tour!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
