Property Description
Discover the unparalleled charm and elegance of the Walter Duffy House, a pristine Victorian residence designed by the renowned architect Herbert Woodley Simpson. Situated in the heart of New Bern's Historic District, this extraordinary property seamlessly blends timeless allure with contemporary comfort.
Step onto the expansive semi-circular front porch, where you can enjoy exquisite views of the river and bask in the beauty of spectacular sunrises. Enter through the grand foyer, where a stunning staircase leads you to spacious sun-filled rooms, including a parlor with original pocket doors adorned with custom-designed stained glass inserts.
The large gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a cozy fireplace, an abundance of built-in storage, and unique design elements. A charming library with built-in bookshelves offers the perfect ambiance for writers and book lovers alike. Unusual for a home in the Historic District, the first floor includes a bedroom with a full bath and walk-in closet, offering convenience and privacy.
This grand home boasts five bedrooms, three full baths, a powder room, and an enormous master suite with a fireplace. The third-floor attic offers endless possibilities for additional living space. Outside, find serenity in the pocket garden with a pergola, Zen garden, and private meditation space.
Modern amenities include a state-of-the-art full-home generator, a climate-controlled crawl space, and ample parking. Located just minutes from downtown shops, restaurants, and seconds from the river, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of New Bern's history.
Over 3,500 sq ft of pure elegance awaits.
