About this home
New owners of this second floor condominium, created from the historic 1909 Samuel Henry Kress five and dime building, will enjoy urban living central to the New Bern Historic Business District. The building's 307 Middle Street location is only: 3 blocks to Tryon Palace and its Gardens; ½ block to Chelsea, Bay Leaf, and Cow Cafe Restaurants; 3 blocks to the River Walk; and similar distances to a variety of restaurants, shopping, and beverage establishments. Live music and events are regularly a part of the park location of the ''point of the union'' of the Neuse and Trent Rivers. Sight of the draw bridge is a regular event at that City Park. Ascend by elevator, off the designated parking space. The hallway will lead passed the unit's Storage Closet and then to its front door. Upon entering you see on to the primary living area, or looking left, to the two bedrooms and two baths. The living / dining room has 14 ft ceilings and a glassed wall that expands one's view through the adjoining covered porch. A massive bookcase forms one wall of the dining area and includes the potential of using its countertop for meal service, or beverage, functions. Harwood floors abound. The kitchen is gourmet galley style and has a convenient closable laundry room at its end. Bedrooms include large skylights and windows with urban views. Bathrooms are spacious and have tub faucets of vintage look. While sitting on the terrace, enjoy waifs of restaurant smells, the occasional rumble of a Norfolk Southern train on Hancock Street, the cry of various birds in flights, and colors of sunset. Those who enjoy reading a book, or writing one, may particularly enjoy rainy day sounds while protected by the porch's roof and masonry walls. The experience of living in the Kress Building is right out of a romantic novel. The Nicholas Sparks Foundation bookstore is on the street level, of the Kress Building. Owned by a former local river-tour-boat Captain, the property and its location exude character. The listing images have been sequenced to form a tour of the home.
