Charming Downtown Cottage with Modern Updates & Rare Outdoor Space
Welcome to your adorable downtown abode! Nestled on a quiet street with no HOA or homes on one side, this move-in-ready cottage combines historic charm with thoughtful updates—and offers rare outdoor living space that's hard to find in this location.
Enjoy the beautiful Carolina weather from your expansive wood deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, all while enjoying the privacy of a fully fenced backyard. The yard is a true downtown gem—generously sized and featuring several raised garden beds already thriving with herbs and veggies, and a shed.
Inside, you'll find fresh paint and updated lighting throughout. Although seemingly historic, the home was built in 1990 and exudes timeless character while benefiting from numerous upgrades over the years, including:
• Blow-in attic insulation
• New roof and deck railings (2018)
• Laminate flooring (2019)
• New French doors (2020)
• Recently added Hardie board-and-batten siding on the rear exterior and new deck stairs
Another standout feature? A three-car driveway—a rarity downtown—plus free street parking for your guests.
You're just minutes from all the buzz of the newly revitalized Soda Pop District, home to hip coffee shops, breweries, pizzerias, gyms, and more. Conveniently close to Cinespace Movie Studios, Live Oak Bank Pavilion, The Wilson Center, Cape Fear Community College, and Wilmington International Airport.
Whether you're searching for a cozy primary home or an ideal investment property (perfect for rental or Airbnb), this charming cottage truly has it all!
Still want more? Rated R-3, the property allows for 2 additional accessory buildings, a garage or shed for example, and one may be an ADU.
