Set on almost one acre in Greenbrier with views across the Emerald Golf Club course and pond, this all-brick ranch was built for slow mornings and long evenings. The heart of the home is a large living room with a warm wood-plank ceiling, clerestory windows, and a full wall of sliding glass doors that pull the fairways right into the room. Built-in bookcases frame a gas-log fireplace, and hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas. The single-level floor plan flows from the slate-tiled entry into the open living and kitchen spaces. The kitchen has granite counters, a large island with bar seating, stainless appliances, a wine fridge, abundant cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry, plus a separate dining area for everyday meals. The owner's suite opens directly to the back of the home with its own course view. Its ensuite offers a jetted tub, a separate glass walk-in shower, double vanities, and a walk-in closet. On the opposite side of the home, the second bedroom sits next to a full bath. The third bedroom opens into a vaulted family room with a second fireplace and a wall of windows, creating a private wing that works well as a home office and den, a guest retreat, or a hobby space. Outside, an expansive sunroom, covered and open decks, and a rear covered porch give you plenty of places to enjoy the view. A long paved drive winds through mature pines to an attached two-car garage. No HOA (optional Greenbrier POA is $95/year), city water and sewer, and a transferable termite bond. All of this is just minutes from downtown New Bern's waterfront, shops, and restaurants.
