Well established and highly desirable River Trace subdivision of the Brices Creek area is renowned for it's mature trees, large lots, the sounds of nature (aka ''quiet''), and friendly neighbors! There are so many opportunities with this property. First, you're a mere 9 minutes from downtown New Bern - close enough to pop into town and far enough to be out in the county. The plus is you only pay county taxes, yet you have all the amenities available to those city folk such as high speed internet and trash pickup (yes, you have electricity, too!). Another opportunity for this home - one of the firsts built in this subdivision - is it's a clean palette to make it absolutely yours, which in turn, becomes absolutely home! There's no better time to consider a kitchen facelift, or to choose whatever wall colors tickle your fancy, or perhaps tailor that bonus room (has a private entrance, by the way) into your hobby den, home office, or a homeschool area. Once it's time for a break, take it to the outside for a little Vitamin D therapy and enjoy the expansive rear deck or take a refreshing dip in your own fenced in-ground pool! Opportunities abound and this property is priced accordingly! You will not regret choosing this River Trace house as your next home. Plus, EVERYONE wants to be able to say they live on Possum Trot, so don't let another steel that claim from you! This one won't last long at all. New HVAC in November 2019.
