Description

If you've been looking for something with character and convenience, this one is worth a look.

This 3 bedroom, 1 bath brick home has a solid feel the moment you pull up, with a metal roof for peace of mind and long-term durability. One of the standout features is the cobblestone wraparound porch -- the kind of space you can actually use, whether it's morning coffee or winding down in the evening.

Inside, you've got a practical layout with three bedrooms, giving you flexibility for guests, an office, or whatever fits your situation.

Location is a big win here. You're just minutes from downtown New Bern, so you get quick access to restaurants, shopping, and everything the area has to offer, while still having a place that feels like home.

If you're looking for something affordable, low-maintenance, and close to town, this is one you'll want to see in person.
