Original details inside this one! Grand old homes and buildings around it. Just a few blocks from the waterfront. The house was built in 1886. It is located in New Bern, North Carolina. I’m wondering if this house was flooded and has been sitting vacant since. New Bern was hit hard by one of the hurricanes a few years back and the town was flooded for a few days. New Bern is a vibrant community with a thriving downtown area and this house seems to be right in the thick of it. Having said that and looking at the work needed, they might be asking a bit too much for this one. The house features a covered front porch, tall ceilings, hardwood floors, beautiful mantels, wainscoting, crown moulding, wide baseboards and french doors. There is a fenced in back yard with a detached storage shed and the house has a large covered back porch. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms and 2,750 square feet. $220,000
