Downtown Wilmington home in the Historic District, near to Cape Fear River Walk

This classic, downtown house has the look and feel of a home built in the early 1900s, but all the updates of a home built just over a decade ago. Conveniently located in downtown Wilmington's historic district, and just a short walk to our booming central business district, this thoughtfully designed home has it all. A cozy, covered front porch is perfect for receiving and entertaining friends and neighbors, while the screened porch is better served for those best of friends that stay a little longer. Inside, the main floor is covered with wide plank oak hardwoods, and offers a spacious living room, breakfast area, half bath with laundry closet, and a tastefully designed kitchen featuring granite, stainless appliances, and an impressive bar area with glass display cabinets. The hardwood floors continue upstairs, where you'll find all three bedrooms including a generously appointed master suite. Home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for someone new to call it home.
Utilities included: electricity, heat, internet, air conditioning and water.
