Sharing its origins with the neighboring Mary Turner House, this home known as the Thomas J. Turner home was built by the same craftsman and stands as another enduring example of the area's historic architecture. 405 Hancock Street offers one of the city's most walkable locations. Simply cross Broad Street and you're immersed in the vibrant downtown where Middle and Craven streets are a block away filled with locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, galleries, waterfront parks, Tryon Palace, and year-round festivals. It's the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience.

As a contributing property in the Historic District, it has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its historic character while offering today's most desirable amenities. Highlights are many, and include a stunning chef's kitchen with premium appliances, gas range, a lovely primary suite with a spacious dressing room and spa-inspired bath, hardwood floors, off street parking, updated electrical and plumbing, encapsulated basement, screened porch, and a private courtyard for firepit evenings.

Every improvement has been carefully completed, creating a truly move-in-ready historic home.

Whether you're looking to own an updated piece of New Bern history, own a weekend retreat or buy as an investment, this is one of the historic district's most desirable locations for walkability.
