Step into history with this unique 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home, formerly the Wilmington Trust Bank, built in 1920 and thoughtfully renovated in 1985. This one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern living, with original features preserved throughout. As you enter through the front door, you’ll notice a small section of the original bank tile flooring, setting the tone for this special home. The rest of the main floor features luxury vinyl plank flooring, offering durability and modern appeal. The former bank teller station is now a sleek, open galley kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and stylish art deco milk glass pendant lights that resemble the bank's original design. Arches from the original teller windows separate the kitchen from the living room, adding an elegant touch that preserves the building’s rich history. On this level, you’ll also find a spacious bedroom and a convenient half bathroom, providing additional comfort and functionality. Another unique feature of this home is the trap door in the floor, leading to the laundry room in the basement. With soaring 14-foot ceilings throughout the main floor, the living spaces feel expansive and airy. The home also features the original bank vault door, which is still in place, adding character and a touch of intrigue to the space. This door leads to a spiral staircase which takes you to the second floor. Here you'll find a second bedroom, a full bathroom, and a large finished versatile loft area that offers endless possibilities – whether as a private office, reading nook, or additional storage. This unique home features a solid exterior with two layers of brick that were used in its original construction, ensuring both durability and historical authenticity. On the side of the home, you'll find the original night bank depository box, still intact and adding to the property’s unique story.
