Step into a piece of North Carolina history with this one-of-a-kind property, known as The Tucker House. Built in 1973 and originally operated as an inn, this home blends timeless character with modern updates just minutes from historic downtown Swansboro. Craftsmanship shows throughout, brick sourced from the original 1901 Pepsi plant in New Bern, durable composite cement shingles, and professionally manicured lawns and gardens. Inside, a mix of original hardwoods, LVP, tile, and carpet complement classic details such as original door hardware, crown molding, chair rails, and 9' ceilings. The main level includes a spacious primary suite with vanity, soaking tub, and shower. French doors open into the living room with a cozy gas fireplace. The chef's kitchen features granite counters, double ovens, gas stove, and custom finishes. A formal dining room, half bath, laundry with office space, and abundant natural light complete the first floor. Upstairs are two additional bedroom suites. The ''Swansboro Room'' includes a private bath, while the ''Crystal Coast Room'' offers a large bath, bedroom, and bonus space for guests, office, or playroom. Outdoor living includes a covered back deck, brick patio, and fully fenced yard. The current owner, an herbalist and master gardener, has created lush gardens filled with culinary and medicinal herbs. A 26x24 detached two-car garage provides space for vehicles or a workshop, plus additional parking for up to eight more cars. Located just minutes from Swansboro's waterfront festivals, shops, and dining, with Emerald Isle beaches six miles away and Hammocks Beach State Park only 1.5 miles. The Tucker House is a rare opportunity to own a property rich in history and filled with modern comforts, offering flexibility for commercial or residential use, whether as a short-term rental investment or a primary residence.
Updated Description:
Welcome to The Tucker House, a historic and beautifully maintained bed & breakfast at 661 Main Street Extension, Swansboro, NC. Built in 1973 — and once operating as an inn — this 2,877 sq ft home sits on a generous 0.85-acre corner lot. The property radiates character: solid brick construction sourced from New Bern's original 1901 Pepsi plant, crown moldings, original door hardware, chair rails, and 9-foot ceilings. Inside, a mix of original hardwoods, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet flows through inviting living areas. On the main floor, you'll find a spacious primary suite with a soaking tub and shower, cozy living room with a gas fireplace framed by French doors, a formal dining room, and a chef's kitchen with granite countertops, double ovens, and gas cooking. Upstairs are two independent suites — the ''Swansboro Room'' and the ''Crystal Coast Room'' — each with private bathrooms and flexible living space for guests, office, or play. Outside, the property features a covered back deck, brick patio, fully fenced yard, and lush gardens lovingly tended by the current owner (a master gardener and herbalist). A detached two-car garage (26' × 24') plus additional parking accommodates up to eight guest vehicles. Strategically located just minutes from Swansboro's historic downtown, waterfront festivals, and dining, The Tucker House is also within easy reach of Emerald Isle Beach (6 miles) and Hammocks Beach State Park (1.5 miles).
