Description:
Welcome to the Blades House, an Italianate-style home with River Views and a stunning example of 19th-century architectural elegance blended with modern luxury. Known as ''The First Blades House'' and located on one of Downtown's most prestigious streets, the home was renovated by one of New Bern's most well-respected preservationists who enhanced the home's timeless beauty with contemporary updates including a 1st floor ensuite. With a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, ~3100 sq ft owners' home along with 2 apartments (1141 sq ft and 612 sq ft), this property provides many options. One of Downtown's most historically significant properties, the lot was owned by JB Clark and Company (a lumber business operated by JB Clark and William and James Blades). Originally a duplex and completed around 1892, the home overlooked their lumber mill on the river. This property stayed in the Blades family until the 1940s and retains many of its original features, creating a unique and beautiful home. Greeting you is the home's exterior with its symmetrical facade, tall, narrow windows with crowns, and a low-pitched roof with eaves supported by decorative brackets. Side porches, adorned with ornamental columns, create the perfect access to the interior with its entrance hall that contains a late 19th century stair with a turned walnut newel, a molded handrail, and turned balusters. When touring the home, you see high ceilings, bay windows, exquisite moldings, and light-filled transom doors. Featuring an updated kitchen with a great room with double doors, the back of the home opens to a patio and lush gardens. Fine historic features continue upstairs with 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and an enclosed porch with views. With plenty of off street parking, every corner of this home tells a story, offering a perfect blend of history and modern convenience. Total sq footage does not include 233 unheated sq ft on the 2nd floor of the owners' home and 2 apartments (~1753 sq ft) - enjoy rental income or keep all residences for yourself!For more details: https://realtyww.info/homes_new-bern-d526715/for-sale_i77828744
