About this House

Welcome to this charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath home that seamlessly blends vintage character with modern updates. A welcoming covered front porch invites you into a bright and airy living room, featuring a large picture window that offers a view of the front yard. The decorative, non-working brick fireplace adds to the home's warmth and is flanked by windows, complementing the original hardwood floors that extend into the formal dining room through an elegant archway. The beautifully renovated kitchen is a true highlight, offering ample cabinet and counter space, including a double stainless-steel sink with a sleek goose-neck faucet and a custom tile backsplash. It's fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances including a refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in microwave, and a smooth top range. The kitchen opens to a spacious breakfast area or family room, the choice is yours, with direct access to the side yard, providing a seamless flow for entertaining. Tucked away from the guest rooms, the owner's suite provides a private retreat with a walk-in closet and barn door entry to the en-suite bath, which boasts a pedestal sink and a step-in shower for a spa-like feel. Luxury vinyl flooring throughout the kitchen, breakfast/family room, and owner's suite adds both style and durability. Three additional generously sized bedrooms feature original hardwood floors and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. A full bath serves these rooms, with a tub/shower combo, an extra-large single sink vanity with granite countertop, and stylish tile flooring. Convenience is key with a linen closet and laundry closet located in the hallway. Additional features include a paved driveway offering off-street parking, a partially fenced backyard, and a large storage shed for extra space. Enjoy the benefits of being just a short distance from local amenities, including trendy shops, restaurants, and the historic charm of Wilmington's downtown riverfront.

    "I bought my home a month ago and I feel quite safe here. All of the homes are well maintained and the neighbors really watch out for each other. The early mornings and evenings are great for sitting on the porch. The neighborhood is getting better each block at a time. I wish I would have moved here years ago. The cost of the homes are very reasonable as compared to the national average."
