221 Northern Boulevard is a 1941 bungalow in the heart of Sunset Park that pairs original character with thoughtful, design forward updates throughout. Arched doorways, hardwood floors in the main living areas, built in shelving, and a decorative fireplace give a nod to the home's history, while the two tone navy and white kitchen and two fully renovated bathrooms with patterned tile and brass hardware bring in a fresh, curated feel. Just off the main kitchen, a built in pantry nook adds extra prep space, storage, and a natural landing spot for a coffee bar or homework station. Sitting on an oversized corner lot with a metal roof, detached storage building, and zoning that may support an ADU (buyer to confirm), this is a property with both character and upside. The home also has a prior history of operating as a successful Airbnb. Located just 3 miles from downtown Wilmington and steps from Greenfield Lake Park.
