The New Bern Preservation Foundation is pleased to announce that a second home in the 6 Sisters is now available for purchase.
Located at 857 Pasteur Street in the Dryborough neighborhood, this circa-1923 home is one of six nearly identical houses built as New Bern recovered from the Great Fire of 1922. More than 100 years later, these modest homes remain an important part of the city’s story.
Known as #6, this two-story home offers approximately 1,318 heated square feet with three bedrooms upstairs, one full bathroom, a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The home retains some original architectural details and features a metal roof, and vinyl siding.
Covered front and rear porches provide additional outdoor living space, while the oversized lot offers room for gardening, outdoor gatherings, parking, or future landscaping projects. Measuring approximately 44 by 147 feet (5,663 square feet), the lot is significantly larger than many nearby properties.
This house has opportunities for cosmetic updates or renovations over time. Whether you choose to repaint, refinish floors, make other improvements, or add on square footage, you can add your own style while caring for a home that has served New Bern for generations.
Just minutes from downtown, you’ll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, coffee shops, Union Point park, theaters, shops, and many of the events that make New Bern such a vibrant place to live.
