About this home
An outstanding opportunity to own a like-new, and never-occupied, waterfront residence offering exceptional space, privacy, and immediate boating access on the Trent River. Highly elevated and extensively transformed, the original home was raised and rebuilt with the comprehensive renovation completed in 2025. Major improvements include a new roof, HVAC systems, wiring, plumbing, windows, doors, ceilings, brand new and never used major appliances, an added garage and two additional bedrooms, and more--providing the peace of mind of a new home. Set on 1.62 acres at the end of a quiet River Bend cul-de-sac, the property feels private without being isolated. Approximately 200 feet of Trent River frontage is complemented by an additional 295 feet along a protected creek or cove, creating an unusually expansive waterfront setting with room to live, entertain, garden, work, and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, approximately 4,010 square feet of light-filled living space features an open floor plan, expansive windows, numerous skylights, and a dramatic oversized stone fireplace. Four bedrooms and three full baths include two spacious primary suites, offering outstanding flexibility for guests, extended family, multigenerational living, a home office, studio, or private retreat. The generous floor plan provides options rarely found in a waterfront home at this price. Boating access is immediate, with a private concrete boat ramp, approximately four to five feet of water depth in the protected creek, and direct access to the Trent River. Enjoy the privacy and room of a large waterfront property while remaining only minutes from shopping, medical services, golf, the airport, and historic downtown New Bern. Never occupied since the renovation was completed, this turnkey residence offers the space of a substantial home, the condition of a newly completed one, and an exceptional combination of waterfront, privacy, and convenience.
