The New Bern Preservation Foundation is pleased to announce that the first of the 6 Sisters is now available for purchase.
Located at 855 Pasteur Street in New Bern’s Dryborough neighborhood, this circa-1923 home is an opportunity for a new owner to become part of the ongoing story of these six nearly identical homes.
Built shortly after the Great Fire of 1922, the 6 Sisters provided much-needed housing as New Bern rebuilt. Today, they remain a reminder of that period in the city’s history and of the working-class families who called them home.
Known as #5, this two-story home offers 1,318 heated square feet with three bedrooms upstairs, one full bath, a living room, dining room, and eat-in kitchen.
Some original features remain, including wood-framed thermal windows and exposed pine wood floors upstairs. The home sits on a deep 25-by-147-foot lot, providing more outdoor space than many properties this close to downtown.
The house is move-in ready but offers plenty of opportunity for a new owner to make improvements over time. Whether that means refinishing wood floors, repainting rooms, updating finishes, or simply adding your own personal touches, there is room to build on what is already here to make it your own.
Covered front and rear porches extend the home’s living space outdoors. The rear porch opens to the deep backyard, offering a comfortable spot to relax, garden, or spend time outside.
Downtown New Bern is just a few minutes away, making it easy to enjoy local restaurants, coffee shops, waterfront parks, shops, festivals, and other community events.
