515 Queen St New Bern, NC 28560

Presenting one of the few remaining Pepsi / Hartsfield houses, built no later than 1920 and extensively renovated between 2006 -2015 to keep its antique charm. Located in New Bern's downtown Historic District for easy accessibility to all that downtown living offers.From a welcoming front porch, enter a living space with a fireplace and staircase to the 2nd floor (Note, the railing can be removed for easy access to move furniture). Original wood floors have been carefully refinished to retain their age-worn charm. The main floor also has a primary bedroom and a full bathroom off the kitchen. The eat-in kitchen is spacious, with lots of countertops and a gas stove. Dine in front of the kitchen windows and enjoy the view of the large garden. A screened-in back porch extends the full length of the home for additional seasonal living. Upstairs has a bedroom / bath suite and spacious landing that could be an office/den or guest space. This level also has a mini-split for individually-controlled heating and cooling. Garden with lovely azaleas, hydrangeas, fig and peach trees, and more is partially fenced with brick & shrubs. It also features raised beds and a shed built in 2008 with electricity and AC. Large road frontage is ideal for parking or perhaps construction of a garage or guest house.This home has been well maintained and perfect for a buyer that does not want the upkeep of a larger home. It features a Rinnai on-demand water heater, mini-split upstairs, natural gas, and 4 fireplaces. The property is zoned commercial and is not in a flood zone. The roof has been newly-painted. This would be a perfect place to call home!Originally built as a duplex for workers, its two front doors were retained to reflect its disappearing architectural and social history. Very few homes in downtown that once had this traditional layout survive, and none are still recognizable as such. Records list it being built 1920, but the style and construction suggest earlier.
