Welcome to the Thaddeus C. Dickinson House (est. 1904), a stunning historic home that was completely renovated in 2024 while preserving its timeless character. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom upstairs gallery occupies the entire second floor of this charming two-story home, blending modern comfort with historic elegance.
Located on 5th Avenue in the heart of Downtown Wilmington's Brooklyn Arts District, you'll be within walking distance of some of the city's best restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, and live entertainment. Stroll to the scenic Cape Fear River and Riverwalk or catch a concert at Live Oak Bank Pavilion, a performance at the Wilson Center, or a special event at the Brooklyn Arts Center—all just minutes away on foot.
But what truly sets this home apart is its walls. The walls are adorned with photos taken by the owners over 40 years of travel. From the ancient temples in Angkor Wat to the children along the Amazon River travel photos take you around the world.
After a day of exploring or out on the beach, relax by the gas firepit as you grill out on the gas grill and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this quiet residential neighborhood.
