About This Home
Step into this beautifully updated Charleston style home perfectly situated on a DOUBLE SIZED LOT in the heart of downtown Wilmington. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious open-concept layout, this home offers the perfect blend of downtown charm and modern upgrades. Fresh paint and newly refinished red oak floors welcome you inside, while the Ipe wood front porch and balcony off the primary suite bring the Southern character outdoors. The kitchen features all newer appliances (2020), and the primary bathroom was completely renovated in June 2023. The double-lot backyard is a true gardener's dream- lush and tree-lined, with mature fruit-bearing trees and bushes including fig, pomegranate, elderberry, peach, blackberry, goji berry, and even a large pecan tree! Other highlights include a new water heater (2023), a sealed crawl space with thick poly ground cover, dehumidifier, and vent system, an included washer and dryer, a private back deck and shed, and a fully fenced front yard with gated entry. All just blocks from all Downtown Wilmington has to offer.
