Nestled in the heart of downtown New Bern, this one-of-a-kind historic loft is where timeless craftsmanship meets contemporary luxury. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, private elevator, and a private rooftop deck, this remarkable residence redefines modern city living. Industrial style lofts like this one RARELY come to market! Original architectural details like exposed brick walls, reclaimed hardwood flooring, and 13' ceilings speak to the building's roots. These elements have been thoughtfully preserved and restored, creating a living space that feels authentic, warm, and filled with character. The loft feels less like a home and more like an experience. This loft offers the ultimate entrance experience: a private elevator that gives convenience and discretion framed on each floor by restored vintage doors from New Orleans' French Quarter, opens directly into your space. The breathtaking open floor plan with 13-foot ceilings and oversized windows that pour natural light into the space, flows effortlessly from living to dining to kitchen, allowing for both easy everyday living and exceptional entertaining. The chef's kitchen features a massive 10-foot island, high end cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a striking custom 7-foot custom oven hood made from reclaimed pine salvaged from the space - a tribute to the past reimagined. Retreat to the 713 sq. ft. primary suite, where luxury awaits. Thoughtfully designed with triple-level closet racks, a rolling library ladder, and spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, double shower heads, and a custom pine vanity made from reclaimed wood from the space. Magic unfolds when you step out to your private rooftop deck. Here, you will enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline and sunset skies. With custom planters, integrated lighting, TV, and a propane fire pit, the rooftop can be as lively or peaceful as your lifestyle demands. Rarely does a historic loft offer outdoor living like this!
