This beautiful Queen Anne Style Victorian home, built by renowned architect Henry Bonitz, maintains a wealth of architectural details, beautiful light, and a spacious layout. The wonderful curb appeal and welcoming front porch continue throughout this entire three bedroom and three bath home. The fourth bedroom (previous adjoining nursery) is currently listed and utilized as a home office. Each owner has improved on this property while keeping its historic features of heart of pine floors, original stained-glass windows(as-is), stately high ceilings and multiple porches. A metal roof and renovated kitchen were completed in 2019. Current owners have completed foundation work, siding & woodwork repairs, and interior & exterior painting. A home warranty is being offered for peace of mind. Located in the heart of downtown in the original historic district across the street from Brooklyn Arts Music Academy, it is only blocks from Thalian Hall, the Bellamy Mansion, the new Project Grace compound (current completion date 2025), and the vibrant Soda-Pop district. Two off street parking places, a lovely backyard patio and screened in porch offer an outdoor oasis. The combination of this home's historic charm and proximity to all the newest upgrades of downtown Wilmington, make this property a must see.
