The Captain's Stay Bed and Breakfast

New Bern, NC Offered for sale at $675,000

The Henry H Harris House, ca 1805, in Downtown Historic New Bern is available for new owners!! This home has been operating as one of New Bern's premier Bed and Breakfasts for 12 years and offers turnkey handoff to new owners as a Bed & Breakfast. The property could also be used in other commercial applications due to its’ zoning and proximity to Tryon Palace and downtown New Bern.

The Main House is currently set up to welcome guests with a classic 'rocking chair' Front Porch, a large Guest Parlor with a wood burning stove and a large Dining Room with a gas fireplace. The renovated Chef's Kitchen boasts newer cabinets with custom fittings, granite countertop, center island, a Wolf Gas Range w/Hood and a large walk in Pantry. The integrity of the period was conserved by keeping a set of the upper original cabinets w/stained glass doors and an exposed brick fireplace. The Owners’ Quarters are also in the Main House and include a king size bedroom with en suite bathroom, plus both a private den and an office. The 2nd story has 3 guest rooms with 2 bathrooms and the 4th guest room with a shower and private deck area is in the Exterior Cottage.

The Bed and Breakfast is fully operational as a 4 guest room business, which includes the custom website, business phone number and signage, as well as the contents of the business areas sans specific personal items currently shared with the business. The owners have prepared a transition document and are willing to stay on a week or two to get the business setup with the new owners.

There is room for expansion with 2 heated rooms on the 3rd floor in the Main House, as well as the finished Bonus Room above the 2 car Detached Garage. Along with the Garage parking, there are 5 additional off street parking spots and additional street parking.
