From the Zillow listing:
A significant historic landmark home, the 1894 William R. Guion home welcomes passerbys into the neighborhood with it’s foremost corner location on the treelined street that serves as a thoroughfaire connecting the downtown historic district with New Bern’s first suburb the Riverside historic district. The house is easily recognizeable by the standing seam metal mansard-roofed design, the wrap around porches and the floor to ceiling windows. Inside the side hall foyer connects the main living areas of the home with a formal parlor, dining room and beautifully updated kitchen. An added modern family room creates the open floor plan popular for today’s lifestyles. Upstairs are three large bedrooms, a timeless claw foot tub and details reminiscent of a fine historic home. 5 fireplaces, 2 of which are functioning. The home sits back off the street with a privacy hedge and a sidewalk entrance to the front and a convenient side hall entry with access from the parking area and detached garage. A newer deck leads onto a fenced large lawn large enough for a game of crochet or badminton. This home has been lovingly cared for and maintained and should not be missed.
