What's around 311 Johnson Street

About this property

Step into more than two centuries of New Bern history at the Captain Elijah Willis House, an exceptional Federal-style residence dating to circa 1805-1807 and ideally situated at 311 Johnson Street in the heart of the Historic District. Set prominently above the street, this distinguished 2,984-square-foot, two-story home features the classic side-hall plan, enhanced by an elegant entrance portico designed by noted New Bern architect Robert F. Smallwood. Inside, the home offers four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, three fireplaces, beautiful wood floors throughout, an elegant stairway, numerous built-in bookshelves, and remarkable storage. A full attic and full basement provide additional space rarely found in homes of this period. At the rear, a light-filled sunroom overlooks the expansive and exceptionally private garden. The deep backyard creates a wonderful in-town retreat, with mature landscaping, a brick patio, off-street parking, and a detached approximately 600-square-foot structure incorporating a one-bay garage and generous workshop. Rich in architectural character and remarkably livable, the Captain Elijah Willis House offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of New Bern's early historic residences--all within easy reach of downtown. The property is located in Flood Zone X, with flood insurance not required. Home did not flood during Florence.
