Modern amenities abound in this inviting home within Wilmington's amazing historic district!
Thoughtfully designed to entertain.
Large, shady backyard, and just 1-3 blocks away from some of the best restaurants, antique shops, wine bar, and yoga studio in the city.
Just 8 blocks (about a 15 minute walk) to the Riverwalk!
Enjoy the large backyard lounging about under the towering oak trees in Adirondack chairs. Close to all the best Wilmington offers.
The space
Entire experience is designed to make working from home a breeze.
The spacious primary bedroom suite features a king bed with a plush pillowtop mattress, walk-in shower, and a desk so folks can work and take calls/meetings in private.
The front bedroom has a queen bed with a plush pillowtop as well.
The third bedroom features two twin beds with memory foam mattresses.
The home works really well for six people, but we do allow up to 8 people to stay, with the understanding that the people beyond six guests will have to sleep on twin air mattresses. We have two twin air mattresses, with bedding, that are available for guests to use. The air mattresses include a self-contained air pump, so no worries about blowing them up. However, guests must request the air mattresses be available and the guests will be responsible for inflating the air mattresses and making the beds.
Fast internet is powered by AT&T fiber, with speed up to 1 GB per second.
The refrigerator does not have a water dispenser or ice maker. We have a Brita water pitcher inside the refrigerator and ice cube trays.
Off-street parking is available, but on-street parking is rarely an issue, since St. Luke's Church takes up the block across the street. Off-street parking shared between guests staying in the main house and guests staying in the cottage.
The serene backyard is large for a downtown home and is shaded by towering oaks throughout most of the day. The backyard is shared with guests who may be staying in the cottage behind the main house.
Robert Strange Park, the largest park in downtown Wilmington, is a half-block away, with a public swimming pool, one baseball and 2 softball fields, basketball courts, in addition to 6 tennis/pickleball courts.
A big backyard awaits, wonderful for an intimate gathering of family and friends.
Unused electrical outlets have covers and we are focused on making the house "child friendly" as possible. However, we cannot assure the home is "child proof", and guests accept full responsibility for any accidents/injuries.
We have a Graco Pack N Play Rock N Grow Playard available. It's one of the best pack n plays available and retails for about $300. Just let us know if you need it during your stay, and we will make it available.
Large Roku TVs available in living room and primary bedroom suite.
Plenty of off-street parking available (3 spaces), with free parking on the street. Off-street parking is shared with guests who may be staying in the cottage behind the main house.

Other things to note
We want to share our home with people who respect others.
Not kid friendly.
We have a strict no party rule. This is out of respect for the home and for our neighbors.
If noise levels, or other behaviors, force neighbors to contact the police, and if the police validate a nuisance/illegal activity has occurred, guests may be subject to a $500 penalty, to be assessed at the sole discretion of the host.
