Have an appreciation for classic American
architecture?
This nicely renovated gracious home built in
the depths of the Depression exudes old style character and charm bundled in a
21st Century wrapper.
It was one of the early homes to be erected
on the eastern end of Goldsboro’s well regarded Mulberry Street.
The neighborhood welcomes residents and
visitors with lofty cathedral canopied ancient oak and pine trees that stand
like sentinels along its verdant streets and yards.
The landscaping at 1403 has been completely
redone to a high professional standard.
Mass plantings of azaleas and gardenias give it a singular look. Roses
and crepe myrtle are also abundant. The sweet scent of gardenias perfume the
night air in the intimate brick walled rear courtyard.
A pergola was added to the front exterior
to create a dramatic addition to the house and enclose a sunny semi-private terrace at the entry.
The family room is also a sunroom with light-filling solar tubes and a wall of glass overlooking the rear courtyard and nearly 600 square feet of decks.
The kitchen is the centerpiece of a fully
renovated 400 square foot service wing with laundry, breakfast room, powder
room, mud entry and storage. It has been completely remodeled to include all
stainless steel appliances, including a pro-style 40 inch wide electric stove
with two ovens (including convection) and a spacious glass cook top capable of
accommodating your largest pots and pans.
Above the stove is a large restaurant style ventilation hood with a
powerful exhaust fan and two warming lights as well as halogen floodlights. Brazilian granite tile backsplashes and
countertops add to the modern look.

The 11 room home has four bedrooms but can be
configured with five if necessary. As
presently configured the first floor master suite has a separate sitting room
or nursery. The second floor bedroom can be used as a quiet office or as a
child’s room with adjacent playroom.
The master suite has been remodeled with
exceptional closet space and a bath with Italian tile floor and floor to
ceiling wall tile. The bath has a 60
inch glass enclosed shower with hand held showerhead and room for a bench. All fixtures are stainless steel.
The two other first floor bedrooms can
function like a Jack and Jill suite with a fully renovated bathroom that has a glass enclosed
shower stall and a bathtub. Both bedrooms feature beautifully
refinished original hardwood flooring.
The first floor bedrooms have chandeliers
with LED lighting. The second floor
bedroom has track lighting with LED bulbs.
