112 Barbara Avenue

Welcome to 112 Barbara Avenue, a home with a story, a whole lot of heart, and more than 65 years of memories within its walls. Built in 1960 and lovingly held by the same family ever since, this Midway Park home has been thoughtfully cared for through generations while receiving extensive updates that bring modern comfort to all of its original charm and character. Situated on an incredible acre lot, the property offers space that is increasingly hard to find. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the home, while a fire pit area complete with Adirondack chairs creates the perfect place for evenings outside. A new driveway, patio and paved sidewalks, updated gutters, storm windows and doors, fresh shutters, drainage improvements including a French drain, stone pavers, and a newly painted fence and gate are just a few of the exterior improvements. Inside, you'll find a home that feels warm, welcoming and full of personality. Barbara Avenue offers a functional living space with gorgeous natural light and a fully operational wood burning fireplace with a stunning custom L-shaped screen, plus an updated chimney cap. The chimney was recently cleaned and lined. Follow on to an open concept dining and kitchen space filled with so much charm. Three generous sized bedrooms continue down the hall. Don't miss the eye catching original hardwood floors throughout most of the home. Updates include fresh paint, new kitchen countertops, high-end LVP in the kitchen, all-new stainless steel appliances, updated ceiling fans and light fixtures, new window treatments, and a bathroom updated within the last 10 years. Behind the scenes, just as much care has gone into the important things: a new HVAC system AND all-new ductwork in 2024, new water heater in 2022, electrical improvements, blown-in attic insulation for added efficiency, attic access improvements, and ongoing termite and pest contracts. And there's even more outside. A brand new Graceland shed offers additional storage, an EV charger is already installed for added convenience, and a separate brick building/workshop provides fantastic bonus space, complete with a full bathroom featuring a new shower, toilet, and updated plumbing. The opportunities are endless! The location makes this property even more special. Located right off right Piney Green and Hwy 24, you are incredibly convenient to Camp Lejeune (1.9 miles) with easy access to the Piney Green Gate, a huge advantage for anyone commuting to base. You are also just a short drive (12 miles) from downtown Swansboro for waterfront dining, shopping, and the small town charm, while New Bern (40 miles) is an easy trip for even more dining, shopping, and entertainment. 112 Barbara Avenue has been loved, maintained, and improved by one family for generations. Now, for the first time, it's ready for a new owner to make it their own. Schedule your showing today!
