1403 East Mulberry Street, Goldsboro, NC 27530

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 21^st 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 heart of the home is the elegant slate floored family room with its 9 and ½ foot ceiling and close proximity to the completely remodeled kitchen and expansive dining room.  

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.
