Overview
Newly Renovated, Spacious Two Bedroom With Lots Of Light And Beautiful Decor
Located in the Historic Cummings-Taylor house on a cobblestone downtown street, this spacious 2 bedroom/1 bath condo has been completely renovated from top to bottom and beautifully furnished. The home is filled with light and has all of the charm of the historic home that it is but with all the amenities of a modern new home.
The home was built in 1889 and has been converted into three units with this property occupying the second floor of the house. There are hardwood floors throughout and beautiful moulding. The fully equipped kitchen has a french door refrigerator, new stainless steel range and microwave, open shelving and a dishwasher. There is also a full size washer and dryer. The home has huge windows and three original brick fireplaces with lovely mantles in the bedrooms and the living room. Both bedrooms have comfortable queen size beds. There is a back porch that is shady and private for a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee and newspaper.
The home is located in historic downtown Wilmington but is far enough from the lively downtown 'scene' to ensure you enjoy being in this great city while still being able to relax. Walk four blocks to catch the FREE downtown trolley that will take you anywhere in the historic area you would like to visit. The trolley runs every 20 minutes Downtown Wilmington has so much to offer - great shopping, delicious restaurants, lively nightlife, historic homes and buildings, horse drawn carriage tours, and so much more. There are fantastic beaches within a 20 minute drive from the house.
Make this home your home away from home while you explore this great city!
About Michelle
Our family lives in Charleston, SC. We love to travel and enjoy getting away to Wilmington. I grew up in the South and my husband grew up in the Northeast but came south as soon as he could. I graduated from Clemson University and he graduated from Norwich University in Vermont. We have a ten year old daughter and an eleven year old yellow lab - both of which enjoy travelling with us.
Michelle purchased this condo in 2006
Why Michelle chose Wilmington
We fell in love with this home as soon as we saw it even though we had told ourselves we would never buy an historic home. For the first few years we owned it the home was rented to mostly students at nearby UNCW but we recently decided to completely renovate the house and once we saw the beautiful results we decided it would be a great homebase for people visiting the area.
What makes this condo unique
This home has so much charm and is in a great location close to everything downtown and an easy drive to some of the best beaches in North Carolina.

Very well kept , very modern interior. Definitely recommend a getaway to see downtown here!
Perfect place to tour downtown Wilmington from, very close to many bars and restaraunts
Great and so central
Beautiful. Comfortable and so homey. I appreciate the supplies. I would suggest a closet have and extra blanket because please like different temps.
Great apartment manager and so easy to communicate with. Would do it again.
Well maintained, beautiful and comfortable property
We enjoyed our stay in this historic home. It was spacious, beautiful and comfortable, with all the amenities you might need. The onsite manager was pleasant, friendly and helpful. It is located right in the historic district which was incredible; great to stroll the neighborhood in the evening and admire the amazing homes. Close enough to downtown to walk to shops and restaurants. I would recommend this property as an economical option to pricier bed and breakfasts in the area. Having access to a full kitchen is a plus for our family, as is having a washer and dryer. The dryer was in disrepair but functional. Overall, we had a great stay and would return.
Great Historical Home with lots of charm and character!!!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and loved the downtown Wilmington area. The house was spacious, very well kept, and close to everything from restaurants, shopping, and sight seeing. The house was so cozy and comfortable and my daughter said it felt like home. We hope to visit here again in the future.
This apartment was perfect.
This apartment was perfect. Everything and more we needed was there. It is beautiful and spacious. The location is outstanding- easy to downtown as well as heading out of town. Coffee shops within walking distance (Jesters & Luna). I will stay there again.
A nice and quaint house.
This house was in a strategic part of Wilmington that allowed us to walk down to several areas of interest in the historic district. Good house.
