Located directly beneath the rooftop bar in the historic Masonic Temple building at 21 N Front Street, this distinctive condo puts you in the heart of downtown Wilmington's vibrant atmosphere. The owner openly discloses the rooftop bar's location to prospective Airbnb guests, and the property continues to rent consistently and receive rave reviews.
Offered fully furnished, this turnkey, income-producing condo blends historic character with modern comfort. Set within a late-1800s landmark that once served as a lively social and commercial hub, the two-story residence features soaring 30-foot ceilings, beautifully refinished hardwood floors over 100 years old, and original crown molding.
The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and a spacious island for gathering and entertaining. Upstairs, the loft-style primary retreat includes a king-size bed and an additional living area, along with peek views of the Cape Fear River and Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, this furnished property offers an inviting opportunity for investors, second-home buyers, or anyone seeking a distinctive downtown residence.
