Historic Riverside has a way of making you feel connected to New Bern without being right in the middle of it.
On a tree-lined street just minutes from downtown, this 1936 home has the kind of character you hope to find in an older home—but with a renovation that makes it work beautifully for the way we live now.
Thoughtfully transformed in 2021, the 3,140-square-foot home keeps its original sense of place while quietly bringing everything up to date. Oak floors, custom windows, Italian tile, a beautifully appointed kitchen, four-zone HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, and even an elevator are just a few of the details that make this home as functional as it is beautiful.
And then there’s the backyard, the porches beneath the mature trees, and an 800-square-foot detached garage with its own HVAC and full bath. It could be a workshop, studio, guest space, or simply the kind of extra room you’re always wishing you had.
What we love most is that you can settle into the slower rhythm of Riverside and still be just minutes from downtown New Bern—waterfront walks, local shops, galleries, restaurants, community events, and all the little reasons people fall in love with this town in the first place.
It’s a home with history, but it doesn’t ask you to live in the past.
If you’d like to take a closer look at 404 Avenue C, comment AVENUE C and we will send you the details.
