About this home
Welcome to the extraordinary James W. Biddle House, an architectural masterpiece in the heart of the New Bern Downtown Historic District. Originally built in 1904 and believed to be designed by renowned architect Herbert Woodley Simpson—whose distinguished work shaped much of New Bern's architectural legacy—this residence has been meticulously restored and reimagined for modern living.
Boasting nearly 3900 square feet of historic charm and upscale finishes, this three-story home features expansive living and entertaining spaces with soaring ceilings, preserved original woodwork, and four working fireplaces. The chef's kitchen is equipped with Quartz countertops, all Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, and an adjacent breakfast nook that opens to an oversized screened porch overlooking a serene garden courtyard.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite includes a fully renovated bathroom and walk-in closet. Each additional bedroom features its own private bath. The third-floor bedroom is expansive and offers adequate flexible space for a playroom, office, or studio.
Enjoy incredible water views from the classic Southern front porch and many of the home's windows. The detached two-car garage is heated and cooled and includes a finished private flex space above with a full bath and separate entrance. This detached area adds an additional 1000+ square feet of heated and cooled space.
Just steps from the waterfront, restaurants, and boutique shops of Historic Downtown New Bern, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare blend of preserved history and luxurious livability.
