Property Description
Nestled in the heart of New Bern's beloved Ghent district, this inviting ranch-style home offers the kind of charm and close-to-everything lifestyle that's becoming harder to find. Just minutes from the hospital and historic downtown, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is perfectly positioned for those who value convenience without sacrificing character. From the moment you step inside, warm original hardwood floors and a thoughtfully flowing layout create a sense of home. Multiple living spaces make it easy to entertain or unwind, including a cozy family room with a wet bar, a separate formal living area, and a sun-filled room that opens your view to a private, tree-lined backyard, an ideal spot for morning coffee or quiet evenings at home. The outdoor space is equally inviting, featuring a spacious deck for gatherings and two powered workshops that offer excellent flexibility for hobbies, storage, or creative use. Behind the scenes, extensive updates provide peace of mind, including a new HVAC system and ductwork (2023), new stove (2023), bonus room flooring and sump pump (2023), renovated hallway bathroom and primary shower (2024), a new dishwasher (2024), a new roof (2024), and brand-new gutters (2025). With quick access to Highway 70 and just a short distance to downtown New Bern's shops, dining, waterfront, and medical facilities, this home delivers a rare blend of location, functionality, and timeless appeal. Opportunities like this in the Ghent district don't come often-schedule your private showing and experience it for yourself.
