411 Queen St, New Bern, NC 28560

Welcome to the John J. Tolson house ideally located close to everything Downtown New Bern has to offer including the waterfront, shops, restaurants and entertainment galore! Built in 1907 by John J. Tolson, a local tax collector, this home was originally located close to First Presbyterian Church and provided lodging for New Bern guests and residents for many years after Mr. Tolson died in 1920. Moved to its current location around 2007, the home has had numerous updates since then. Showcasing the entrance to the home is the magical, light filled enclosed front porch (one of the very few in Downtown) - a perfect place to entertain, relax, or people watch. Enter the home to find rooms aglow with light from walls of expansive windows, high ceilings and pretty moldings. Choose from multiple options for living spaces including separate sitting, living, and dining rooms. Take advantage of the full laundry room (rare for Downtown), in home office, and pantry ideal for storage. Gather and prepare meals in the updated kitchen with gorgeous wood countertops with tile backsplash overlooking the large deck and pretty back yard. Choose one of TWO original stair cases to make your way to the upstairs featuring wide plank flooring, primary bedroom suite and three other secondary bedrooms. Your guests and you will enjoy the spacious deck overlooking the fully fenced, large back yard or the front porch with views of the beautiful front yard with decorative fencing. All of this PLUS off street parking for at least two cars - this special home is a Downtown favorite!
