Description
Discover this classic 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick ranch in a highly convenient New Bern location. Built in 1965, this is a solid, sturdy house situated on a generous 0.583-acre lot featuring mature trees and a fenced backyard.
Inside, the home offers a functional layout with LVP flooring throughout the main living areas and tile in the bathrooms. The large living room is a comfortable space, featuring a brick fireplace with gas logs flanked by built-in shelving. While the kitchen and dining areas remain functional, the overall layout flows nicely into an excellent sunroom/additional living space with its own separate mini-split unit, and a very large covered screened porch overlooking the backyard and above-ground pool.
The property provides ample space for projects and parking, including an attached carport and a 12'x24' detached and wired garage/workshop with a roll-up door. This home offers excellent potential and is ready for its next chapter!
