About This Home

As of March 2016

Incredible opportunity to own an exquisite piece of history! The former City Library, converted to a residence in 1984, is one of New Bern's finest homes featuring an estate-like lot of almost 1/2 acre (one of the largest downtown), gorgeous landscaping, beautiful outdoor living spaces inc. terrace, large screened porch, 2nd flr deck, & a dependency that is a near replica of a plantation smokehouse. Enter the home to find beautiful moldings, pine floors, spacious rooms, downstairs MBR, tons of storage, & light-filled rooms w/ lovely views of the grounds. A rare find - this home is a total WOW!
