## Description

### Agent Description
Renovated and offering the rare luxury of both first- and second-floor bedroom suites, the Stanly-Bishop House is an exceptional early-19th-century residence in the heart of New Bern's Downtown Historic District. This distinguished home features five beautifully updated bathrooms, a designer kitchen with granite countertops and herringbone backsplash, soaring ceilings, exquisite original moldings, multiple fireplaces, two laundry rooms, and a gracious front porch overlooking the New Bern Academy and neighboring church. Originally constructed between 1800 and 1810 and acquired in 1815 by prominent entrepreneur John Carruthers Stanly-known as ''Barber Jack''-the home reflects the success and influence of one of New Bern's most notable early residents. A true showpiece, the first-floor primary suite features a fireplace, spacious bedroom with separate sitting room, dual closets, and one of the most beautiful bathrooms in the Downtown Historic District. The living room, also anchored by a fireplace, flows seamlessly into the formal dining room and gourmet kitchen-ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The upper level offers a gracious bedroom suite with a showstopping spa bath, complete with a fireplace set beside the soaking tub, along with two additional bedrooms and bathrooms. Finishing the home is a third-floor apartment (not included in the listed square footage and not renovated) with a private entrance, providing exceptional flexibility for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Beautifully updated and ideally located, the Stanly-Bishop House places the best of Downtown at your doorstep, with New Bern skyline views from multiple rooms and the rare chance to own a landmark home that blends history with modern luxury. Note unused easement for access to 503 New Street.
