About this property

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.

Our accommodations were outstanding as was our host, Karen. It’s obvious Karen takes a great deal of pride in her property and wants her guests to have the best experience possible. Our home was clean, well-stocked with essentials, and located in a very quiet neighborhood that was within a 14 minute walk to downtown Wilmington. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was beautiful, comfortable, well stocked and in a perfect location. It’s in walking distance to the Riverwalk and to Hidden Grounds. The front porch had an awesome sectional couch that was perfect for having our afternoon coffee. Our stay unfortunately was cut short due to bad storms but we will totally be back and staying here again :)
