403 Avenue D

Welcome to 403 Avenue D in the heart of historic Riverside, just a short mile from downtown New Bern. The home was built in 1935, a few blocks from the river's edge and Maola event space. The front door sets the tone to the house. It looks original, but it's a replica of a period door created by a local artisan.
The front entry stairs lead to three bedrooms and one full bathroom on the second level. From the foyer you can see straight ahead into the kitchen which offers a pantry under the stairs, the sink under the window, ample countertops and cabinets, creating an efficient space. The kitchen opens to either a dining or a family room.
The living room features a large fireplace with gas stove insert and original built-ins. The craftsman style bookcases with tapered square columns and lead glass doors divide spaces and allow open views.
The home has great flow, allowing easy access to all the spaces including the laundry room, full bathroom, and flex space with sliding glass doors leading to the private and peaceful backyard. The yard features a party deck, a functional workshop/storage building, and wood fencing.
The driveway provides a paved space for two vehicles, a rare find in the historic district. The HVAC was installed in 2019. Tankless water heater installed 2012. The home is easy to maintain because of the metal roof, vinyl siding and storm windows. This home has been meticulously cared for, as evidenced by the gleaming hardwood floors throughout and original wood windows which provide abundant natural light. This stunning home blends modern updates with historic charm, making it a must-see.
