Property Description

The John R. B. Carraway House:Designed by noted New Bern architect Herbert Woodley Simpson and featured in Peter Sandbeck’s The Historic Architecture of New Bern, this distinguished Queen Anne home was built circa 1891 and served as the lifelong residence of preservationist Gertrude S. Carraway. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated, the three-story residence spans 3,999 square feet and features four bedrooms, five full baths–including one on the first floor–and two versatile flex spaces ideal for a home office, fitness studio, or playroom. Rich with original character–including natural bead board ceilings and seven fireplaces (three with gas logs)–the home also offers a chef’s kitchen and scullery with marble countertops, a copper sink and hood, and a built-in table crafted from reclaimed South Carolina cotton mill wood. The professionally designed gardens sit on a spacious lot with river views, a two-car carport, and storage sheds. Enjoy the sweeping front porch with Brazilian walnut floors, a newly painted exterior (2024), and a durable metal roof installed in 2019. This is a rare opportunity to own one of New Bern’s architectural treasures–steeped in history, beautifully livable, and timeless in every way.
