Property Description

RARE opportunity to own one of Downtown New Bern's most exceptional historic homes! Built in 1882, the Charles T. Watson house is one of the few surviving residences that belonged to wealthy merchants of the late 1800's. Embodying the elegance of 19th century Italian Renaissance style architecture, the house was built for prominent resident, Charles Thomas Watson, and is extra special in that it has remained in the same family since it was constructed. Featuring one of Downtown's very best full-width porches with ornamental pillars and moldings, you will be wowed by the exterior's intricate brackets, distinctive corbels and the overall majestic facade of this entire home. Step inside to find some of the most lavish finishes of the period including soaring ceilings, exquisite moldings, grand rooms for entertaining or relaxing with magnificent, hand painted ceiling medallions and an incredible stair with octagonal panelled and turned newel, turned balusters, a heavy molded handrail, and fine sawn foliate mahogany step-end brackets. As if this is not enough, buyers will be delighted by the first floor bedroom and bathroom, three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor, enclosed porch, expansive 1/4+ acre double lot, circle driveway with gorgeous portico AND a two car garage! The property is being sold ''as is,'' offering a a beautiful canvas to create a stunning and exquisite Downtown showcase home.
