Quality, convenience, comfort, and beauty, plus an attention to details make this house a home run! New roof shingles, fresh paint throughout and newly refinished hardwood floors are just a few recent updates to the home. Very well designed and thoughtfully laid out, this stunning home in the Oakview neighborhood of New Bern boasts many desirable features, such as a stately yet welcoming entrance and two-story foyer and classically beautiful staircase to the second floor. You'll soon enjoy the spacious family room with fireplace with gas logs, as well as generally open spaces for everyday comfort and easy entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, a gas stove, pantry, and a lovely row of windows to view the backyard, as well as an easily accessible screened porch. Imagine having your morning coffee here, or enjoying company on a warm evening on your screened porch! (Or enjoy your open patio and accompanying firepit year-round!) Nearby is your stylish formal dining room, with a tray ceiling and elegant detailing, as well as an in-home office featuring French doors, crown molding, and wainscoting. The primary suite includes a sitting room and the 3 other bedrooms each include built-in shelving for books, toys or more and there is also an easy access attic area. This home sits on a generous, nicely landscaped .85 of an acre. There's plenty of paved parking along with garage space for not two, but three vehicles which has a new epoxy coating on it. The Oakview neighborhood is outside city limits so there are no city taxes, yet downtown historic New Bern is just 5 miles away. You're also convenient to Cherry Point marine air station and just an hour (sometimes less!) from the beach. This home is in a much-desired school district and also has wide streets for strolling and a feeling of luxury. This gracious and lovely, move-in-ready home really does have it all--the only thing missing is you! Call for an appointment today!
