512 Queen Street, Wilmington, NC 28401
What's special
Built in 1923 and expertly restored by renowned historic restoration team Wild Old Women and One Guy, this exceptional 2,283 sq ft home sits on a deep 0.16-acre lot along a brick-lined street in downtown Wilmington. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office, and off street parking, the home pairs historic character with high-quality modern updates. A covered front porch and leaded glass entry door welcome you into an open floor plan with 9-ft ceilings, a linear electric fireplace, and 2.5-inch red oak hardwood floors. Original-style glass doorknobs preserve the home's charm, while fully insulated exterior and interior walls provide added energy efficiency and sound reduction. The kitchen features Taj Mahal quartzite counters and full length quartzite backsplash, 42'' upper cabinets, double ovens, a large island, and an ornate glass mosaic tiled backsplash, creating a striking focal point above the range. The first-floor primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and an elegant en suite bath with tile floors, double vanities, and a fully tiled walk-in shower with a Carrara marble inlay. An adjoining sitting room is ideal as an office or nursery and can be easily enclosed with the addition of a closet to create a 4th bedroom. A half bath & laundry room with plumbing for a utility sink complete the main level. Upstairs offers a spacious landing, two guest bedrooms, a full bath with double vanities, & walk-in attic storage. The screened porch overlooks a fenced backyard with mature trees and shrubs, plus a paver grilling patio & separate concrete patio. Additional features include a metal roof and a private driveway for up to 3 vehicles. Located within Wilmington's National Register Historic District, yet just outside the locally regulated Historic District, the home offers historic charm without the added restrictions of local historic guidelines. Enjoy easy access to downtown's premier shopping and dining, the Riverwalk, & the Cargo District.
