- Each side is a 451 sq. ft. full height basement accessed via full height staircases from the ground floors. There are also external doors to the patio area.
- A full height basement is unique for New Bern. It is half above ground providing external light through windows.
- The basements are dry because The Duplex is both above the flood plain and outside of the 100 year flood line.
