Some addresses carry weight before you ever open the door. 411 George Street is one of them. A stately property with a main house and a carriage house that has small apartments above in the heart of New Bern's Historic District. The main house, is the kind of property that epitomizes Historic downtown New Bern. A stained wood entry door with frosted glass opens into a foyer anchored by a sweeping curved staircase with dark-stained treads and white turned spindles create craftsmanship that cannot be replicated at any price today. The living room features an original brick fireplace with built-in flanking bookcases, parquet-inlay hardwood floors, and tall ceilings trimmed in original crown molding. The dining room connects to a fully updated kitchen with stainless gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, granite countertops, white raised-panel cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and pendant lighting. A dedicated laundry room with full-size washer and dryer adds practical value. Three generously proportioned bedrooms upstairs continue the original hardwood floors throughout, and a remarkable unfinished third-floor attic with exposed timber framing and original wide-plank pine holds genuine future potential. There is a small apartment that occupies the rear of the main house with its own private exterior entrance -- a fully furnished one-bedroom, one-bath with an updated kitchen with full appliance package, and a walk-in shower bath. Two other apartments sit above the detached carriage structure, both fully furnished and move-in ready. One is a furnished studio with beadboard walls, kitchenette with vessel sink, and a subway tile glass-enclosed shower bath. The other is a furnished one-bedroom with louvered closets, and its own mini-split system. All three have private exterior access and carry the boutique character of the property throughout. A shared gravel courtyard with mature trees, curated plantings, and bistro seating connects the structures and adds a lovely amenity.
