About This Home
As of May 2026Come see this absolutely charming 3-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath home in the heart of the Historic Ghent Neighborhood! First up, of course, is your very own full-sized front porch, where you'll be able to enjoy warm evenings sitting and chatting with neighbors strolling by. The welcoming living room begs you to sit down and relax, and enjoy your classic fireplace with gas logs. Your sunny, spacious kitchen and dining room bring you loads of work space, cabinet space, and room for a crowd, as well as French doors to your large back porch. You have a full bath and a half-bath downstairs, as well as a downstairs primary bedroom and an office which could also be used as another downstairs bedroom! Upstairs includes two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room for an office, nursery, workout room, hobby room, or whatever you need. Next you have a nice, flat backyard (easy for maintenance!) along with a single-car detached garage for a workshop, storage, lawn equipment, or a vehicle, of course. This home has a new roof from 2024, and one of the HVAC units was also replaced in 2024. The popular Historic Ghent Neighborhood is convenient to shopping, the hospital, and is just two miles from Historic Downtown New Bern, so this home won't last long--call right away before you miss your chance!
