Welcome to 705 Wooster Street, where 1920s character meets 2020 craftsmanship.
This charming cottage was taken down to the studs and beautifully remodeled in 2020, blending timeless architecture with modern comfort. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a decorative fireplace mantel that anchors the living space with instant warmth and character.
The kitchen is a showstopper; crisp white shiplap, gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an island and a gas range make this a space you'll actually want to cook in.
With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, there's room to spread out, sip your morning coffee on the front porch swing, then head out back to your wooden deck overlooking the yard, perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding.
Location? Unbeatable. You're just two blocks from the Castle Street District and a quick 5-minute bike ride to the Cargo District, putting some of Wilmington's best shops, restaurants, and nightlife right at your fingertips.
And the best part? The big stuff is already done; HVAC, metal roof, tankless gas water heater, windows, siding, deck, and fence were all replaced in 2020, so you get all the charm of a historic home with none of the guesswork.
705 Wooster Street isn't just a house, it's a lifestyle. Come see it for yourself.
