If you are looking for a protected deed waterfront home in a great area on a quite private road but less than 5 minutes to downtown New Bern, YOU JUST FOUND IT! This beautiful home is set up for entertaining. You pull into a park like setting with well maintained mature landscaping past the luscious palms and once inside you enter the slate foyer and are met with a large slate fireplace. To the left is a bright open eat-in kitchen with an open attached dining room, both with large glass doors over looking the beautiful backyard and Brices Creek. There are large glass doors throughout this wonderful home letting in plenty of light and allowing you to enjoy the backyard and watch the boats go by popular Brices Creek. A large vaulted living area is beyond the grand slate fireplace with plenty of large glass doors leading to porches and a sunroom surrounded by even more glass. Once in the vaulted sunroom, you can open the doors and let the breeze cool you off with the help of the ceiling fan or step out onto one of the 2 decks to enjoy the sun. The spacious primary bedroom has a large open bath with jetted soaking tub, separate shower and dual sink vanity with large mirror. Large cedar lined walk-in closet and custom dresser with removable entertainment cabinet and shelves. Like the rest of this home, this bedroom has a large sliding glass door leading to a private deck. There are 2 additional bedrooms each with their own private bath and a half bath off the living area. Oversized dock is in place that will likely need some work and there is a historic barge sunk along the shoreline that can be seen when the water is low that serves as fish haven. This property is not in city limits and there is no HOA so bring your chickens and save on city taxes and water/sewer fees. With a little vision you can make this wonderful home perfect for you. Great area in the middle of everything but tucked away on a private road and less than 5 minutes to downtown.
