    Location, Location, Location. Check out this top to bottom renovated home in Wilmington's Nationally recognized historic district. Situated on the corner of Church Street and Fifth Ave., in the heart of the downtown area and walking distance to the award-winning restaurants in Wilmington! The provenance for this home is amazing as it was originally constructed in 1875 and has been lovingly restored to its former glory. Adhering to the strict renovation standards of the Wilmington Historical Comm,, this home has been approved and placarded as an official historic home. The first features everyone notices is the wraparound, covered porch with period tongue and groove hardwoods. Imagine easy NC mornings sipping your coffee on this expansive patio! Next you will notice the expansive garden ringing the home with native NC plants and shrubs. The details used in this restoration will amaze you. The new brickwork on the exterior is a replica of what was originally used on the home. In addition, the original front door has been refinished and put back in place as well along with the original fireplace mantel in the master bedroom. The star of the restoration may be the original claw foot tub which has been reglazed and used in the second bathroom. Contrasting the exterior period restoration, the inside is a modern wonder perfect for entertaining with an open concept floor plan and featuring soaring ceilings in the living room and a wonderful chef's kitchen. Abundant with natural light, and offering plenty of privacy, the living room also features an electric fireplace for those cooler nights.
