This Lucky Old House is Aboutto Find its new Soulmate....Fully restored and renovated historic homes downtown don't hit the market often... so don't miss this chance! This stunning three bedroom, 2.5 bath Victorian cottage has been lovingly rehabilitated over the past 15 years. Built in 1903 the home originally was a boarding house for pepsi bottling plant workers (hence the name the pepsi rental house) and later on train depot employees. It remained a rental for many years until the Dixon family called it home. After more than 60 years and on the brink of demolition the home was purchased by a Construction family who spent 4 years carefully restoring this lovely home from top to bottom. They enclosed spaces and opened others up maintaining the historic significance and charm throughout the process .They created a full kitchen, a laundry room and the master bedroom/bath. They rearranged the staircase creating a welcoming foyer, Bead board and heart pine floors were restored along with the original claw foot tub. Modern updates have continued with the beautiful brick fence enclosing a romantic and private courtyard paradise with a custom iron gate graced by a century old holly tree that provides shade and cover year round. Inside there are custom designed closets with California Closet organizers and kitchen makeovers to stay current with the styles. The kitchen is an entertainers delight, definitely the gathering area. The exterior features a newer pressed metal roof, which will last the next hundred years, All this and much more just a stone's throw away from charming downtown New Bern with restaurants, shopping, fun and the waterfront.
