About this property

Take a step back in time and own a remarkable piece of history in the heart of New Bern's sought-after Historic District. Built in 1820 and known as the Harker-Sparrow House, this timeless residence offers approximately 3,382 square feet, plus an additional 397 square feet on the third floor, providing even more space and flexibility, all while blending historic character with everyday functionality. A charming front porch welcomes you into a gracious main level featuring a formal living room, inviting family room, den, and a dedicated dining room--each space rich with warmth and character. The kitchen includes a cozy nook, while a main-level bathroom adds convenience. Upstairs, the second floor offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry area, providing a practical layout for daily living. Throughout the home, you'll find heart pine floors, plaster walls, and an abundance of preserved original features that reflect its early 19th-century craftsmanship. Six fireplaces add to the home's historic appeal, with one currently operational. This notable property is also recognized in The Historic Architecture of New Bern and Craven County, North Carolina, written by Peter B. Sandbeck, further highlighting its architectural significance. Outside, the spacious backyard--an uncommon find in the Historic District--offers room to enjoy outdoor living. Ideally located just moments from downtown, you'll enjoy easy access to waterfront activities, locally owned shops, dining, and nearby medical facilities. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property in one of Eastern North Carolina's most cherished coastal communities.
