Located in New Bern's sought-after Riverside Historic District, the Lloyd-Kennedy House (circa 1912) is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This beautifully preserved home blends architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, offering the best of both worlds.
Flowers are blooming and the trees are green as you walk up to the property. A large covered front porch with a ceiling fan welcomes you and sets the tone for this active, social neighborhood. Inside, gorgeous hardwood floors, intricate original mouldings, raised-panel wainscoting, and decorative fireplaces with stunning mantels showcase the craftsmanship of the era. These historic details are complemented by carefully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms designed for modern functionality and comfort.
Additional living space extends outdoors with a screened-in porch featuring a ceiling fan, ideal for enjoying the seasons. The backyard is ideal for relaxing and entertaining with it's spacious deck, flagstone patio, and outdoor brick pizza oven and fireplace. A shed with electricity offers flexible storage or workshop space, while the basement provides additional storage options.
Practical features include off-street parking with a paved driveway, all just minutes from downtown historic New Bern's shops, dining, and waterfront. Rich in character, thoughtfully updated, and ideally located, this home offers social community and historic charm without sacrificing modern convenience.
