18 Pillory Circle, New Bern, NC 28562

Low-maintenance living with a lot more room than you'd expect. This townhome in Plantation Landing pairs a private courtyard entry with an HOA that handles the grounds and roof maintenance, so your weekends stay yours. Come in through the fenced brick courtyard, a quiet spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down, and you're right in the main living space.

The living room has vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and wood-look laminate floors that carry into the dining area, so the whole space feels open and connected. The kitchen has white cabinetry, a tile backsplash, stainless range and microwave, and a breakfast bar with room for a couple of stools.

The owner's suite has its own private bath and enough space for a sitting area or home office, with a row of windows that brings in great natural light. Two more bedrooms and a second full bath give you flexibility for guests, a hobby room, or a workspace, and the hall laundry keeps chores simple.

Out back, a bright sunroom opens onto the shared green space. You're also getting assigned parking, a home warranty from the seller, and everything River Bend has to offer, including the Town Commons, gazebo, and playground, all just minutes from downtown New Bern and the waterfront.
