About 501 New St
What a timeless beauty in The Stanly-Bishop House, where over two centuries of architectural history meet thoughtful modern updates. Located in the heart of New Bern, this Federal-period home invites you to experience the unique character that only history can provide--while enjoying the comforts of today's living. Each room tells a story, with detailed moldings, six-panel doors, & craftsmanship standing the test of time. Contemporary updates ensure comfort & peace of mind, including two new HVAC systems installed in Aug. 2023 & freshly sealed lower roof surfaces completed in Oct. 2023. A fresh coat of paint in the 3rd-floor apartment (not incl. in heated square footage due to ceiling height reqs) adds brightness to this flexible space with a separate entrance--perfect for guests, extended living, or income potential. The upstairs primary suite features a tiled zero-entry shower, added in 2022, bringing a touch of luxury & improved accessibility. Comfort-height toilets were installed throughout the home in 2021, & major systems--including fireplaces, HVAC furnaces, & appliances--have been converted to efficient natural gas, including a dual-fuel stove. The kitchen combines the warmth of butcher block & the durability of granite countertops & includes a functional, rolling island. A built-in bookcase in the dining room & a built-in coatrack at the rear entrance offer added charm and convenience. Off-street parking is a rare bonus in this historic district, & the second-floor laundry room provides modern practicality. The home is adjacent to train tracks with minimal activity (twice/day) & a soft bell sound rather than a whistle. A structural engineer evaluated the foundation in Dec. 2024 & found that settlement was consistent with the age of the home & noted no recent movement was observed. From its celebrated history to its thoughtful improvements, The Stanly-Bishop House stands as a lasting symbol of New Bern's rich heritage. Schedule your private showing today!
