Set on one of Wilmington's most picturesque streets in the Historic District, this beautifully restored property offers a rare opportunity to own two homes in one of downtown's most coveted locations. Circa 1893, the main home has just undergone a thoughtful full restoration, blending historic character with modern comfort and amenities. A welcoming front porch opens to a spacious, light-filled living area with brand-new hardwood floors. The original fireplace was carefully dismantled to create a more open floor plan, while the original bricks were salvaged and repurposed to create a stunning new fireplace--preserving a piece of the home's history in a fresh, functional design. The generous eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, an oversized island with seating, beautiful tile backsplash, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The main level also offers a primary bedroom with a spa-like en suite bath complete with the original clawfoot tub and walk-in shower, plus an additional room ideal for a home office, bedroom, or study. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room provides excellent flexibility and abundant storage, along with a second full bath.Tucked behind the main residence is a charming detached cottage with its own private porch and swinging bench. Inside, you will find an open-concept living and kitchen area, one bedroom, plus an upstairs loft, and one and a half. Whether used as a guest house, short-term or long-term rental, the cottage offers exceptional versatility and income potential. Ideally located on a highly sought-after block in the heart of Historic Downtown Wilmington, this property puts the Riverwalk, restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, galleries, and nightlife just steps from your front door. There is also a deeded access easement and 1 parking space, a rare find for downtown! A unique combination of historic charm, extensive restoration, flexible living space, and a second detached residence, all in an unbeatable downtown location.
