Steeped in history and timeless elegance, the William Dunn, Sr. House, circa 1913, was originally built for the developer of Historic Riverside -- New Bern's first major planned suburban neighborhood. Once surrounded by expansive farmland known as ''Dunn's Field,'' this remarkable PRAIRIE STYLE residence stands today as one of Riverside's treasured architectural gems. A distinctive variation of the American Foursquare style, the home showcases classic brick and shingle construction, a grand welcoming front porch, charming side porches, an original carriage house, and an enchanting porte-cochere that speaks to a bygone era of gracious living. Inside, abundant natural light pours through oversized windows, highlighting the beautiful hardwood floors, rich wood craftsmanship, and warm, invi ting interiors. Soft designer colors blend seamlessly with the home's historic character while thoughtful updates provide modern comfort. The chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a stunning custom reclaimed wood island crafted from 200-year-old barn - a true conversation piece that perfectly complements the home's historic soul. Offering three spacious bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a tranquil former sleeping porch now transformed into a sunroom, this home was designed for both elegant entertaining and peaceful everyday living. Outdoors, the sellers have created an extraordinary private oasis with meticulously designed landscaping, winding brick courtyards, and a custom rose garden that blooms with beauty and charm at every turn. Every inch of the grounds has been thoughtfully curated to create a setting that feels both refined and romantic. Located in the heart of Historic Riverside and just minutes from downtown New Bern's waterfront, dining, and shopping, this is more than a home -- it is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of New Bern history where architectural beauty, craftsmanship, and gardens come together in unforgettable fashion.
