Property Description
A classic 1946 bungalow with timeless charm, this home is anything but a typical four-room layout. Warm and inviting, it offers far more space and versatility than expected. The living room sets the tone with calm paint colors, graceful arched doorways, and a large bay window that floods the space with natural light. Original pocket doors remain intact, leading to the formal dining room where a cozy fireplace and built-in bookshelves create a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated and features a cheerful eat-in nook complete with a solar tube for extra light. A desirable split floor plan includes two bedrooms and a full bath on one side, offering comfort and privacy. Just off the primary bedroom, a light-filled sunroom—currently used as a studio—provides endless possibilities. Upstairs, a spacious loft offers another flexible living area, while the fully floored walk-in attic provides exceptional storage or potential for expansion. Add a full bathroom and definitely room for a clothing closet. Great flexibility. Pella windows throughout the home add efficiency and style. Outside, a large workshop/garage provides room for hobbies and projects, while the expansive backyard is the perfect retreat for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing. Recent updates include a brand-new heating system installed in May 2025. This home seamlessly blends 1940s character with thoughtful modern upgrades—move-in ready with space to grow. Centrally located to shopping, hospital and 7 min. to downtown New Bern.
