About this property

The Buck Road Abode

Come relax with the whole family at this peaceful place in the country not far from New Bern, Greenville, the Original Washington and our beautiful Carolina beaches. The Mary Alice Palace was built in 1954 with lumber harvested from the property. We've added modern upgrades during renovations while trying to keep the charm of the original design. It offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room (with pullout couch), dining room (w/ work space), kitchen, and breakfast nook. Thanks for looking!
The space
House built in 1954 that we tried to update to a rustic feel while keeping its original charm. Spacious living room with full bed pullout couch. Also has smart tv so you can stream from your streaming services. We have mifi for internet. Dining room with a separate work space. Big kitchen with dishwasher, stove, microwave, fridge, and coffee bar, as well as all basic amenities. Kitchen nook with nice view of backyard. 1 bathroom with original cast iron tub and tile. Everything else updated. 3 bedrooms (queen, full, and twin bed). We have a pack and play and a baby bouncer at the property. Back deck with gas grill and 2 chairs and side table.
Guest access
You can access the entire property, except the barn in back and carport. We are renovating the barn and carport so we ask that you do not go in them as it would be unsafe
