The Tucker House, circa 1973. Originally built and operated as an Inn, The Tucker House is full of NC history. The brick for the home and walkways was purchased at auction by Mr. Tucker when the original 1901 Pepsi plant in New Bern was torn down. Each roof shingle is handcrafted from durable cement composite, designed to withstand even the toughest storms.After being used as a single family residence, from previous owners, the current owners decided to bring it back to its glory days and operate it as an Inn, as well as their full time residence. Since the current owner is also an herbalist and master gardener, the gardens out back are a chef's dream, full of many different types of fresh herbs for cooking, as well as medicinal herbs. The primary suite is located on the main level. The en suite offers a dressing/vanity area plus a large soaker tub and shower. 2 other suites are located upstairs. The Swansboro room features a private bath and coffee bar. The Crystal Coast Room features a large private bath, main bedroom space plus an additional bonus room for extra guests/play room/office. The main floor also features a formal dining room, living room, half bath and a large laundry room with office space and under cabinet lighting. The current owners updated all of the light fixtures and painted throughout when they purchased the home in 2021. The original hardwood flooring covers the foyer, living room and dining room.
