409 Hancock ST New Bern, NC 28560

This picturesque Victorian home was built according to the history books around 1875 with it's early beginnings as a rental house. The home boasts distinctive features both inside and out from it's compact side hall entrance to the fascinating built in bathtub with a metal lining from the late 1800's, carefully set in a wooden cabinet in the attic. The home originally sat on Johnson St. and was moved as were many of the homes in the historic district to it's present day location. The first floor has a large dining room which would make a wonderful kitchen/dining room redesign with a front room sitting area. The second floor has two bedrooms, one of which is perfect for a sitting area or extra closet space. A quaint stairway at the end of the hall graced with a timeless stain glass window leads to the attic rooms with cozy siding and a second beautiful stain glass window. Adding heat and air would allow two more conditioned rooms for storage and/or living quarters. The private side covered porch and tucked away back grassy courtyard is a peaceful and tranquil spot. From the side porch the door leads into a multii use room that houses a 1/2 bath and the washer and dryer. Having off street parking and a garage/workshop is a desirable plus downtown. Enjoy unlimited potential with a historic property reminiscent of bygone days. If you are looking for an opportunity to turn this lovely home into a romantic cottage, then this is the home for you. Lots of elbow room and privacy. The adjacent lot is available for sell -n Great buildable parcel that is not included in the price of the home. Seller will not sell without first selling the home.
