Welcome to this stunning custom-built home, perfectly situated in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Carolina Place. Built in 2015, this home sits gracefully above the street, surrounded by historic properties and timeless charm. Known for its strong sense of community, Carolina Place offers an inviting lifestyle—neighbors gather at Wallace Wade Park, stroll along the sidewalks (often with dogs in tow), and enjoy close proximity to the Cargo District, Soda Pop District, and vibrant downtown Wilmington.
From the moment you arrive, this house feels like home. A classic white picket fence frames the beautifully landscaped yard, while the spacious front porch offers the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
Inside, you'll find architectural details that set this home apart. The galley-style kitchen, equipped with natural gas, is designed for both functionality and style—ideal for preparing meals and entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering privacy from the rest of the home, a generously sized shower, and an abundance of natural light.
The cozy living room centers around a gas fireplace, while upstairs features two additional bedrooms, custom built-in shelving, and a landing that leads to a covered balcony overlooking Metts Avenue.
Before you step outside to the fenced backyard, discover the built-in dog wash—perfect for pets, beach days, or gardening.
This home is truly a rare find in one of Wilmington's most cherished neighborhoods. Don't miss the opportunity to make it yours.
