Welcome to our appealing 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in the heart of downtown New Bern. The iconic Spaight House, constructed ca. 1770, initially faced the Trent River before being reoriented to Metcalf St. between 1908 and 1913, and a huge rear two-story addition also transformed it into a duplex . In the 1940S, the home was further divided into 7-8 dwellings. The last remodel, until the current times, was in the 1970s. Beginning in 2020, work began to update each unit to retain the historic allure, original detail, and appeal of the Spaight House while adapting to the modern lifestyle. The property has a enchanting mix of long-term tenants and short-term visitors.
