TWO HISTORIC HOMES WITH WATER VIEWS! A rare opportunity in the heart of Historic Downtown New Bern, this property offers a stunning Colonial Revival home paired with the Coor-Bishop Dependency guest cottage, seamlessly blending timeless character with modern comforts. The main residence features 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths, highlighted by soaring 11' beadboard ceilings, exquisite 5-layer crown molding, wainscoting, and gleaming wood floors. The grand center hall sets the stage for gracious living, while the extraordinary library impresses with custom bookcases, an antique ladder, coffered ceilings, and vintage leaded glass windows. The sunlit addition to the back of the house offers a chef's kitchen with abundant cabinetry and counter space, a historic butler's pantry, elegant dining room, and a comfortable family room that flows to the screened porch. Outside, a private brick courtyard creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining. Across the beautiful fully bricked courtyard, the 1, 250 sq. Ft. Coor-Bishop Dependency (c.1810) provides endless flexibility—whether for guests, rental income, or creative space. This furnished guest cottage features 2 king-sized bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, 1.5 baths, a full kitchen, and its own screened porch. Enjoy mornings on the welcoming front porch, evenings with neighbors, and the ever-changing view of sailboats passing by. All within a short stroll to downtown's shops, galleries, restaurants, and pubs. A truly exceptional chance to own two historic homes with unmatched charm, value, and potential. Recently added off street parking for two vehicles enclosed on 3 sides with beautiful brick work and soon to be added wrought iron gates. A impressive backdrop to the private courtyard.Show Description
