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. Its architecture reflects the vernacular traditions common throughout the South during the early twentieth century, blending shotgun-house proportions, gable-front cottage styling, and practical side-hall floor plan. Inside are three bedrooms, one bathroom, separate living and dining rooms, and an eat-in kitchen.
It needs considerable interior rehabilitation. If you enjoy watching house transformations and thinking, “Here’s what I would do,” this could be your chance to put those ideas to work.
Every house flip or renovation show has a reveal. Here, you get to decide what yours will look like, from the colors on the walls, flooring choices, 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 flexible Rehabilitation Covenant will apply.
Bring your ideas, your contractor, and your measuring tape. The “after” photos are up to you; we’ve included some conceptual ideas below.
