Discover country charm just minutes from the coast
If you’ve been searching for a home that blends space, craftsmanship and quiet escape, look no further than this beautifully maintained brick Cape-style residence in the heart of Vanceboro.
Key Details:
- Price: $445,000
- 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (2 full, 2 half)
- 2,563 sq ft (approx) living space
- Situated on a generous 1.36-acre unrestricted lot
- Listed under MLS #100534900
Charm, Space & Features
From the moment you arrive, the wide wrap-around porch invites you to slow down. Mature shade trees frame the outside, while inside you’re greeted by vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, hardwood floors and a brick hearth with a gas-log fireplace.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with a large island and abundant cabinetry, perfect for gatherings or everyday living. Meanwhile, the oversized laundry room and plentiful storage make life just that bit easier.
A Detached Garage/Workshop + Office Setup
A standout feature: a detached 1,200 sq ft garage/workshop, fully powered and wired, with an attached 250 sq ft heated/cooled office and half bath. Ideal for hobbies, remote work, gym space or a guest suite.
The lot also includes a concrete pad and extra power hookup, ready if you have an RV, mobile unit or extra projects.
Location: Quiet Country, With Access to Everything
While the setting feels peaceful and rural, you’re still just minutes from community favorites like Yoder’s Dutch Pantry or the Maple Springs boat ramp on the Neuse River. Historic New Bern and Greenville are within easy reach, giving you both retreat and convenience.
This home offers the rare combination of space, privacy and practicality; a true find in this market.
Why It Stands Out
- Unrestricted acreage: No HOA means freedom to use the land your way.
- Move-in ready updates: New roof and gutters offer peace of mind.
- Flexible use spaces: Whether you’re working from home, storing toys, or simply enjoying the yard — this lot delivers.
- Stylish interior details: From leaded-glass windows to warm wood floors, the home has character and craftsmanship.
