What's special

Picket fenceCharming cedar shake homeGothic windowsOriginal doors

The original part of this historic classic was built when Abraham Lincoln was just 17 years old... step into this wonderous slice of history... charming cedar shake home with picket fence built in 1828; known to many as the cutest little home in town. Nestled off of South Street, yet very private on the grounds themselves, this alluring home is just a short walk to the farmers market, Murphy Theatre, and the special aura of Downtown Wilmington. Home has original floors in living room and dining room with marks of a long ago spinning wheel by the fireplace... the home has many original doors, hardware, and gothic windows, which add to the charm. Very peaceful and gorgeous brick patio plus 16x24 building, once used as a studio and now for workshop and storage. For most of us, this home has historical significace as the lifelong residence of Helen McCoy, who started the Wilmington College Theatre. Welcome to this peaceful piece of paradise!!
