Just minutes from the historic waterfront, residents and visitors can enjoy local festivals, boutique shopping, and waterfront dining with stunning views of the White Oak River. Hammocks Beach State Park lies only 1.5 miles away, offering nature trails, kayaking, and ferry access to Bear Island’s pristine shoreline. For those craving the open ocean, Emerald Isle’s renowned beaches are just six miles from your doorstep.

Site Description: Situated on a prominent corner lot within the city limits of Swansboro, The Tucker House enjoys maintained public road frontage, offering excellent accessibility and visibility. The property is beautifully landscaped with professionally designed lawns and gardens, including a fully fenced backyard that enhances both privacy and curb appeal. Outdoor living areas include a covered back deck, brick patio, and front porch, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the coastal air.

A detached 26×24 two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or a workshop, complemented by additional on-site parking for up to eight more cars. The grounds feature thoughtfully cultivated herb and flower gardens designed by the current owner, a master gardener and herbalist, adding natural beauty and a sense of retreat. Conveniently connected to municipal water and sewer services, and serviced by Duke Energy and Suburban Propane, the site balances charm, function, and modern infrastructure in a highly desirable Swansboro setting.

Structural Description: The Tucker House is a two-story, stick-built residence with a wood frame and brick exterior crafted from the original 1901 Pepsi plant in New Bern. Resting on a crawl space foundation with durable composite cement shingles, the home spans approximately 2,877 heated square feet.

Inside, 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown molding, and preserved hardware highlight its craftsmanship.

Additional features include central air, electric heat pump, pull-down attic, and a detached 26×24 two-car garage matching the home’s style.

Offering: A previous inspection noted a few items in the crawl space, which the seller promptly addressed by consulting an engineer and licensed contractors. Inspection reports are available upon request. Several repairs have already been completed, and the seller is proactively finalizing a plan for the remaining minor items to ensure the home is well cared for. Offered at $624,900 $599,000.
