Just steps from the award-winning Wilmington Riverwalk (but notably NOT in a flood zone), 513 S Front St is fully updated with 4 bedrooms & 3 full modern baths, including a bed & bath on the first level — a unicorn for homes of this vintage. Original hardwoods, paneled staircase, high ceilings, bay windows, and 4 fireplaces with carved wood mantle pieces are just some of the original details in this Victorian classic. Relax on your storybook front porch and up/down covered back porches to watch the sun rise and set over lush but low maintenance gardens. Brick & gravel paths lead to a storage shed and down a shared driveway easement to your 3 private parking spaces at the back of the property.
This home is a true example of old-meets-new. Updates and improvements 2019-24: Exterior painted and sealed, plantation shutters on all windows, full interior painted, new upstairs bathroom, new A/C heater unit in attic, new washer, new water heater, upgraded landscaping, and a full kitchen w/new cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless appliances incl Whirlpool 30'' gas cooktop, LG smart wifi dishwasher, LG French door counter-depth refrigerator, LG 30'' electric convection combination wall oven w/microwave & infrared heating, and a water purification system for drinking water.
