An opportunity to purchase near historic downtown New Bern for $100,000 and create a home with your own ideas? Meet 847 Pasteur Street.
One of New Bern’s historic 6 Sisters, affectionately known as #1, this two-story house sits at one end of the row and has a deep backyard on 0.09 acres (3,786 sqft).
Its architecture reflects the vernacular traditions common throughout the South during the early twentieth century, blending cottage styling, shotgun-house proportions, gabled standing-seam metal roof, and practical side-hall floor plan.
Inside are three bedrooms, one bathroom, separate living and dining rooms, and an eat-in kitchen.
Substantial interior rehabilitation is needed. If you enjoy watching house transformations and thinking, “This is what I would do,” this could be your chance to put those ideas to work.
Here, you get to incorporate personal design choices within your rehabilitation plan to reflect your style, from wall colors and flooring to the finishing touches that give each room its personality.
For investors, renovators, or buyers ready to take on a substantial project, 847 Pasteur St. offers the opportunity to give one of these charming storied homes a fresh start. A protective covenant will apply to the property.
Bring your ideas and your measuring tape to explore the possibilities. The “after” photos are up to you; we’ve included some conceptual ideas below.
