Fully Updated Riverview Living with Cottage Charm and Exceptional Outdoor Space! Beautifully finished and designed to take advantage of its river view setting, this exceptional home combines relaxed style with sophisticated, modern living. An abundance of windows fills the interior with natural light, while multiple porches extend the living space outdoors. Enjoy morning coffee or entertain friends on one of the decks or on the covered space below or unwind at the end of the day while taking in the views and breezes from the water. Inside, the home was thoughtfully rebuilt in 2019 by one of New Bern's finest contractors and features upscale finishes including a stunning kitchen and baths, tankless water heater, two walk in closets, inviting living spaces that feel like new, Everlast Composite siding, and so much more. With three large bedrooms (including a primary suite that encompasses an entire floor!) there is room for everyone and everything. As if all of that is not enough, the home is situated on a large (~.25 acre lot) with a fenced yard, ample driveway space and exceptional enclosed storage! Located only about a mile from everything Downtown has to offer, this is ideal as a primary home, weekend retreat or investment. Don't miss the opportunity to own this one of a kind gem! Professional photos coming soon.
