House 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.
