2002 Hoods Creek DR New Bern, NC 28562

Having the ability to claim that you live in the Brices Creek area is something most would consider fortunate; you'd be hard-pressed to find a New Bernian to argue. Just off Brices Creek Road and past the famous Merchant's Grocery, you'll find Hoods Creek Drive tucked away as it cuts through a thicket of various tree species - at the end, you'll eventually find the Trent River and to the right runs Hoods Creek, parallel. Upon arrival, one can easily recognize the privacy that can be had on this property given the vegetation along the front and sides, as well as the terminus of Hoods Creek at the rear. As true with all homes, the need to update through the years must come. Fortunately for the next homeowner, that process has already begun and now the time has come for that person to begin those projects to be able to make it their own! Recent updates would be: new tile flooring in the master and guest bathrooms; a new roof in 2011; entirely new HVAC system from the units to the ductwork in Nov. 2020; a crawlspace ventilation fan was installed Nov. 2020 and is set for temperature to control humidity during the warmer months; and a new 10 mil. vapor barrier is being installed Nov. 2020, as well. Other attractive features of this home include a vaulted ceiling in the Great Room, chair molding throughout the common areas, solid wood kitchen cabinets, parquet flooring in the Foyer, rustic wood flooring in the Kitchen and Breakfast Nook, a wood-burning fireplace, a walk-in attic (or may someone's ''cave'') from the garage, as well as a water well that can be used for irrigation. This is a fantastic opportunity have a Brices Creek area home at a great price and better yet, the chance to make it YOURS, through and through! There are no city taxes, natural gas and high speed internet is available, it's quiet during the day and night, and you're less than minutes away from downtown...it just doesn't get much better than this!
