Discover the Hidden Gem of Downtown New Bern, North Carolina: A Historic Home Tour Like No Other
Welcome to “Keeping Up with the Coast,” where we bring you the most extraordinary properties on the market. I’m Christian, and alongside my wife Erica, we’re thrilled to take you on an exclusive tour of a stunning historic home nestled in the heart of downtown New Bern, North Carolina.
A Step Back in Time

From the moment you approach this beautiful home, you’re transported to another world. Located just off the main street, this property is a hidden oasis in downtown New Bern. The lush landscape and exquisite architecture reveal themselves as you step inside—a seamless blend of history and modern luxury.
Built in the 1800s, this home is a testament to timeless elegance. As you enter through one of the many grand entrances, you’re immediately struck by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The kitchen, with its modern updates, is a showstopper. Featuring a herringbone backsplash, stunning countertops, and high-end appliances, this kitchen is both functional and beautiful. And did we mention the fireplace in the kitchen? It’s a rare and charming feature that adds to the home’s unique character.
A Tour Through History
As we move through the home, each room tells its own story. The formal dining area, with its stately fireplace, could easily double as an office or a cozy reading nook. The large windows throughout the home offer picturesque views of historic downtown New Bern, allowing you to soak in the rich history of the area.
One of the standout features of this home is its preservation of original elements. The crown molding, the grand front door, and the intricate woodwork all speak to the era in which the home was built. Despite its age, the home has been impeccably maintained, a testament to the skill of its builders and the care of its owners.

Luxurious Living Spaces
This home is grand in every sense of the word. From the spacious hallways that could double as rooms to the luxurious bathrooms and bedrooms, every inch of this home exudes elegance. The original hardwood floors, which run throughout the home, add a warm and inviting touch. As a contractor, I can attest to the quality of these materials—something you simply can’t replicate with modern building techniques.
Upstairs, the charm continues. The master bedroom, with its attached laundry room and private balcony, is the epitome of luxury. The bathroom is equally impressive, with finishes that rival those of a high-end spa. And let’s not forget the panoramic views from nearly every room in the house—it’s like living in a postcard.
The Perfect Blend of Old and New
What makes this home truly special is how it seamlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience. The thoughtful design and careful updates ensure that while the home retains its original character, it meets the needs of today’s homeowner. Whether it’s the multiple fireplaces, the large closets, or the expansive rooms, every detail has been considered.
Our Rating: Five Stars
After touring this incredible home, both Erica and I agree—this is a five-star property. It’s rare to find a home that not only preserves its historical significance but also offers modern amenities and luxurious living spaces. If you’re in the market for a home that offers the best of both worlds, this is it.
