Property Description
Step back in time as you enter the spacious foyer of this Craftsman-style bungalow in the historic Ghent neighborhood. This stately classic home showcases many desirable bungalow features, including a front-gabled roof, exposed rafters, exterior wood shingles, and a full-width front porch, perfect for rocking chairs and neighborly conversations. The main floor also includes a private office (currently set up as 3rd bedroom) and a convenient half bath located off the dining room. Inside, timeless original details abound with built-in bookcases, coffered 9' ceilings on the main level, large multi-paned windows, original refinished hardwood floors, and thoughtfully preserved woodwork throughout. The handsome updated kitchen features granite countertops, a tile backsplash, a sitting area, and a dedicated coffee bar with additional storage. Just off the kitchen is a generous pantry and laundry/utility room that leads to a large covered and screened back porch. Upstairs, you'll find a stylishly updated bathroom featuring a tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and European-style heated towel bar for a plush experience. The primary suite includes a large, beautifully handcrafted walk-in closet. Newer improvements include gutter system, carport, concrete driveway, fresh paint throughout the interior, back screened porch, and wood fencing in backyard. The 32' x12' shed is ideal for hobbies, projects, and yard equipment. This lovingly cared-for home on charming Spencer Avenue is minutes from downtown New Bern, shopping, dining, and more. Refrigerator, washer, and dryer convey.
