This historic cottage, built in 1903, exudes timeless charm and craftsmanship. Its heart pine floors not only add to the overall aesthetic appeal but also offer a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The use of cedar shakes on the front of the house enhances its visual appeal, creating an inviting and picturesque entrance.
Location-wise, this cottage offers the advantage of being within walking distance to the Cape Fear Museum. Established in 1898, the Cape Fear Museum is the oldest history museum in the state.
Additionally, the cottage's proximity to downtown is a major perk. By residing in this location, you'll have convenient access to a vibrant array of restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues. Exploring the city's downtown area will be a delightful experience, with its bustling atmosphere and diverse culinary offerings.
Moreover, the cottage's close proximity to the Wilmington Riverwalk is an added bonus. Considered the city's top tourist attraction, the Wilmington Riverwalk is a scenic boardwalk along the Cape Fear River. It offers stunning views, recreational opportunities, and a chance to immerse yourself in the city's maritime history and culture.
Overall, this 100+ year old cottage not only provides a cozy and charming living space but also offers an exceptional location that allows you to fully enjoy the cultural and recreational offerings of the area.
