3 Bedroom Apartment in New Bern

Downtown Historical New Bern! `Higgins Downtown Depot` – Enjoy exclusive access to this entire home, unlike many other properties in the area that are divided into separate sections. With a spacious layout and a large private backyard, this gorgeously decorated, industrial railroad-themed home offers a unique experience that feels like a journey back in time, all while providing modern conveniences. Located in the heart of historical downtown New Bern, you’ll be just steps away from shopping, coffee, food, and drinks. Highlights of this home include views of the Trent River from several rooms, relaxing on the front or side porch, roasting s`mores in the smokeless fire pit, playing cornhole, and watching the train pass right in front of your home away from home. Yes, the train really does run every day right in front of the house (very slowly and only during waking hours!) This multi-level home boasts tons of added amenities and extra details (just wait til you see what all is in the kitchen!) as we live up to our company name, A Stay Above The Rest! Full of antiques, photos, and historical family treasures, this home is captivating, to say the least, but is also super kid-friendly with tons of toys, books, and movies provided to ensure that all kiddos feel welcome and entertained!
You will feel like you are in a Hallmark movie while visiting this beautiful town! Don’t let the vintage feel fool you, this home has luxurious linens, incredible amenities, and is very well maintained!! Gather around and enjoy the beautiful open kitchen and dining area, fully equipped with a Ninja Air Fryer (the best!), Ninja Blender, gourmet food processor, Keurig (with a frother for those lattes/ cappuccinos), a coffee maker, our signature KitchenAid Stand Mixer, plenty of bakeware, dishware, pots and pans, a crockpot, and more! The shotgun-style home offers great spaces to gather around, but you have the option of closing those original double doors to close off each room. Also downstairs is a study equipped with a desk (with a monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse), seating, and a Smart TV! There is also a family room with a gas fireplace, Smart TV, a full dry-bar with tons of different drinking glass options, and a mixer set! There is also a full bathroom on the main level and we provide salon-quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and luxurious white plush towels!
All three bedrooms are very roomy and are located upstairs. The first of two primary bedrooms has a king-sized bed with amazing linens for an amazing night`s sleep (plus sound machines/ alarm clocks in every room!), a comfy sitting chair, a romantic non-working fireplace, and a closet. The 2nd primary bedroom also holds a king-sized bed, a computer desk, a vintage non-working fireplace, and a closet. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds each with a twin-sized trundle and a large rustic dresser plus a very large closet. There is another full bathroom upstairs with a claw foot tub (handheld shower). The onsite laundry area is off the kitchen, easy to use and we even supply a few laundry pods. We also supply plush 5-star quality white towels, black hand towels for make-up removal, extremely comfortable bedding, k-cups, coffee filters, creamer, hot cocoa, spices, a few rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, paper towels, trash bags, and the list goes on (we’ve thought of it all!)
Taking you back outside, you can enjoy the great outdoors in the various shaded seating areas with seating for your whole group. The backyard provides ample space, shade, lighting for nighttime relaxation or fun, a fire pit with seating around, and fun outdoor toys, including ring toss, frisbee, and corn hole. If you prefer a more adventurous vacation - you’re in luck! This home is equipped with four adult bicycles (and bike locks) you may use to explore the town or ride through the nature trails. You have quick access to the Trent and Neuse Rivers, Union Point Park (accessible via walking/ bike trails), and many other attractions around town. You`re also less than an hour`s drive to Atlantic Beach where you’re able to rent tons of various equipment for water recreation - jet skis, paddleboards, and boats. There are also beautiful creeks, lakes, and sounds that offer boating, fishing, camping, biking, and nature trails. You can even schedule a day or sunset cruise to enjoy the beautiful North Carolina weather and lush scenery.
Traveling with small children? We know how challenging that can be! Ask us about our partnership with BabyQuips - the nation`s #1 baby equipment rental company. You could rent clean, state-of-the-art gear and have it delivered to you hassle-free!
In addition to this amazing house, you get an easy experience from start to finish when you book with us (A Stay Above The Rest). We have an incredible team you can call, email, and even TEXT(!) who regularly get called out by name in our homes` reviews. We are available 24/7 for our guests.

Summary: We loved our stay! The house is cozy, charming, and beautifully furnished — everything felt comfortable and welcoming. The historic character gives it great personality, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals as a family. The location is ideal: just a short walk to restaurants and close to the heart of a lovely downtown area. Highly recommend!
