Showings start June 5th. Step into timeless charm with this beautifully reimagined 1920s cottage! Just minutes away from Wilmington's vibrant Soda Pop District, the 2,727 sq.ft. home was fully remodeled in 2021 and offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience.
An open and bright layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. You'll love the custom built-in shelving/bookcases in the dining area, a stylish and practical upgrade by the current owners. The kitchen showcases a large central island with a built-in microwave, quartz countertops, pot filler, farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances- including a wine cooler.
The first-floor primary suite features a decorative fireplace and a luxurious en-suite bath with a clawfoot soaking tub, a spacious tiled shower, and a walk-in closet. Also on the main level, the half bath presents a custom vanity crafted from an antique sewing machine—one of the home's many unique details. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, a dedicated office/study, and a full bathroom. The upstairs hallway and stairway area have been freshly painted.
Set on a desirable corner lot, the home welcomes you with a covered front porch and inviting curb appeal. In the backyard, a whitewashed brick courtyard offers the perfect space for outdoor entertaining, complemented by a recently installed fence for added privacy. A 6x8 shed with a workbench provides extra storage and a functional workspace, while convenient alley access ensures easy off-street parking.
This stunning home is just minutes from local cafes and breweries and only 13 blocks from downtown Wilmington's riverfront.
