Property Description
An extraordinary opportunity to own the Claudius E. Foy House, one of the most historically significant residences in Downtown New Bern! Designed by renowned architect Herbert Woodley Simpson, whose work helped shape the City's architectural legacy, this exceptional home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving an extraordinary collection of original details rarely found in such remarkable condition. Step inside to a breathtaking foyer featuring a grand turned staircase, exquisite millwork, stunning hardwood floors, handcrafted mantels for six fireplaces (one with gas logs), an elegant formal dining room, and what is believed to be more original pressed tin ceilings than any other home Downtown. The craftsmanship throughout is simply unmatched! Offering five bedrooms, including a primary suite, the home also features a first-floor bedroom (currently used as a den) with a detached full bath, an updated kitchen, a light-filled sun porch, one of Downtown's most inviting front porches, beautifully landscaped grounds, and off-street parking. The insulated attic (1051 sq ft) with an interior stair case could potentially be finished for additional space. As if that weren't enough, the property also includes a recently completed detached studio cottage (406 sq ft) with a kitchenette, bathroom, washer/dryer hook ups, Murphy bed, and living space--perfect for guests, a private office, an artist's studio, or a cool entertaining space. Adjacent to the cottage is a custom storage area/workshop (247 sq ft), offering the perfect space for hobbies, projects, recreational gear, and more. Just a few blocks from the restaurants, shops, waterfront, and cultural attractions of Downtown New Bern, the Claudius E. Foy House represents a rare opportunity to own one of the city's true architectural treasures. Homes of this caliber seldom become available. Note square footage: home = 3367; attic = 1051; basement = 621; studio cottage = 406; storage/workshope = 247.
