HOUSE OF THE MONTH!

HOUSE OF THE MONTH! 


This home is known as the "WHITFORD PLANTATION"


This Classical Revival Style Plantation home offers breath taking Trent River views and the feeling of Antebellum style and sophistication. The stunning river views are framed by two story ionic columns and are enjoyable from almost every room in the house. Lavish in the convenience of the modern and completely updated kitchen with marble counter tops, up-scale stainless steel appliances, and security system but still maintains an old-world style and sophistication.

This gorgeous home sits on 2.55 acres and comes with an in-ground pool that over looks the Trent River. 





This home is currently being lived in but also being used as one of New Berns top wedding venues. Whether you want to own it as a your residence and/or as a wedding venue, it is definitely worth owning this wonderful piece of history!

Testimonial

TESTIMONIAL 


Moving from New England to North Carolina was a tremendous challenge and having the right real estate broker made the whole process a lot easier.
Our agent, Jennifer Johnson, was very professional, well educated in the real estate and showed poise, understanding and committment in going far beyond  the usual steps in finding a home for us. 

Her patience was tested on many occassions and at times arranged more than 10 showings a day making sure that each one was within the outline that we had supplied her with. We established a professional relationship as well as one of friendship that will continue in years to come. 

We will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who might be looking to purchase a home in the New Bern area. We also would not hesitate to recommend the Keller Williams name to anyone. The office staff was very courtious, professional as well as friendly. We were very comfortable each time we stepped into the office. 

Our purchase was one that we contemplated for a long time and in the end it was Jennifer's experience and overall knowledge that helped us make our decision.

Fence Vendor

FENCE VENDOR

As many of you know by being my friend on Facebook or Instagram, I just bought a house in a subdivision called Deerfield, which is right here in New Bern. Before I start my blog post, I just wanted to thank those of you who has ever bought or sold a home through me or even referred business to me. I bought the home across the street from my mother and my childhood home so without you, I wouldn't have been able to do that. So thank you!


As you can tell from the photo above, I bought a home without a fence! Crazy me since I have two dogs who love to run free and enjoy the woods.....me not so much! With that said....first order of business was to get a fence! I ended up calling two different fencing companies to come out to my home and get me quotes and one ended up being 25% cheaper! The company I ended up using was Andys Fence out of Holly Ridge, NC. Andys Fence does a lot of our New Construction homes here in town so they are always here to do business! From when I met with them to completion was only three weeks which I thought was amazing since I didn't get a normal fence. 

I have a backyard that slopes downhill along with shrubs and landscaping that was not straight! I had also ordered two different kinds of fences so I knew this would be a job. I got white 6 foot vinyl for the front fence and the side fences and then for the back, I got a 5 foot black chain link fence across the back. They had one guy come out to my house around noon for two days in a row and just like that, I had a fenced in back yard! 



As you can see, Gracie is loving her new fenced in yard with the woods behind her that she can actually look at!! For other fence companies (which there are quite a few here in New Bern), click on the word FENCE. Definitely call around and find who fits your needs the best. 

If you want to find me on facebook, click my name. JENNIFER
