Tucked away among mature trees on 1.65 acres, this property offers the kind of peaceful setting that's becoming harder to find. Surrounded by nature and filled with opportunity, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is ready for its next chapter. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, investment opportunity, or a place to personalize over time, the solid foundation is already here. The location combines the tranquility of country living with the convenience of being just a short drive from historic downtown New Bern, shopping, dining, healthcare, and MCAS Cherry Point, while also offering the benefit of no city taxes and no known flood history. The wooded surroundings create a private retreat-like atmosphere where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end under the Carolina sky. Inside, a welcoming foyer leads into an open-concept living area designed for everyday comfort and easy gathering. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace that serves as a cozy focal point, while the adjoining kitchen offers great functionality and room to make it your own. The primary suite is thoughtfully positioned off the foyer and includes an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a dedicated laundry room with excellent storage provide practical living space throughout the home. A heated and cooled enclosed garage expands the usable space and offers flexibility for hobbies, a workspace, recreation room, or additional storage; however, no permit documentation has been located for this conversion. Fresh cosmetic updates and personal touches could further enhance the home's charm and allow the next owner to create a space that reflects their own style and vision. Outside, a rear deck overlooks the fenced backyard, providing a comfortable spot to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful wooded backdrop. A detached storage building adds even more functionality. With a spacious lot, inviting floor plan, and endless potential to shine, this property presents a wonderful opportunity to create something truly special in a serene New Bern setting.
