Fabulously updated historic home on one of downtown Wilmington's premier blocks. Perched high over second street, this home is the perfect combination of historic charm and modern updates, from the elegant front porch to the backyard salt water swimming pool, great for entertaining or just relaxing on a nice summer day. Perfect location, just a two block stroll to all the dining and entertainment of the downtown. You can watch the horse and buggy go by almost every hour from the large covered front porch.
Open floor plan downstairs, with a potential en suite bedroom, separate office, and spacious living area off the recently updated kitchen. The kitchen and rear living room overlook the back deck and beautiful salt water pool.
Upstairs is a large master suite with updated private bath, walk in closet, and cozy fireplace, two other large bedrooms, and another updated bath.
Parking is restricted for non-residents, so on street parking is never an issue.
If you've been looking for the perfect house for downtown living, this is the one!
