913 Colony DriveNew Bern, NC 28562Price: $275,000

With a total of 1,943 square feet, let's just imagine Friday nights by the fire, Sunday mornings in a sun-drenched reading nook, and a backyard big enough to actually do something with. That's 913 Colony Drive : a one-story home that lives larger than its address suggests and offers the kind of breathing room that's getting harder to find inside city limits. Sitting on over a third of an acre with no HOA, this property gives you the freedom to park the boat, build the garden, let the dog run, or finally have the outdoor space you've been compromising on. The workshop and storage building out back means there's a home for every project, every hobby, and every piece of gear you've been stacking in the garage. Inside, the layout is made for real life. The main living room anchors the home with a classic brick fireplace, the kind that makes winter feel intentional. A second gathering room floods with natural light through double windows and features built-in shelving, giving you the flexibility to create a home library, a playroom, a media room, or a proper home office that actually inspires productivity. Two living spaces means no one has to share a TV or a vibe. The kitchen keeps things functional and fresh with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry deep enough to make a Costco run feel justified. The formal dining room gives you space for the holidays, the dinner parties, and the slow Sunday meals that don't happen at a kitchen island. The owner's suite is your exhale at the end of the day that offers a spacious, quiet, and anchored space by a custom walk-in tile shower and two large closets that actually fit two people's lives. Two additional bedrooms round out the main footprint, and then there's the bonus: the additional 351 square feet of heated and cooled space not counted in the listed 1,592 square footage. Use it as a craft studio, a gym, a playroom -- it doesn't care. It just delivers more. All of this, inside city limits, close to shopping, dining, and the best of New Bern!
