Welcome to the Rice House, a standout residence within Wilmington’s historic Trinity Vicinity. Built circa 1885 and named for James Rice—the prolific developer behind the city's most iconic 19th-century expansion—this home is perfectly situated on the rare, brick-paved enclave of Trenton Place. This thoughtfully maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home seamlessly blends historic character with modern utility. The main level features an inviting floor plan, including a rear bonus room where newer Andersen sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light. Practicality meets convenience with a full walkout basement for ample storage—featuring a newer covered outside entrance—and a coveted private driveway that accommodates up to three cars. Located just off I-95 (Exit 7), this home offers effortless commuting alongside incredible walkability to the city’s premier cultural and culinary destinations. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Wilmington history.
