Extensively renovated from top to bottom, 720 Nun Street offers the character of a classic 1903 downtown home with the peace of mind of modern systems throughout. Per the seller, the renovation reached well beyond cosmetics - updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, refreshed interiors, new kitchen cabinetry, and all-new tile bathrooms, including a main-level primary suite with a custom tile shower. A detailed renovation summary is available to interested buyers upon request. The layout delivers what historic downtown rarely offers: the primary suite on the main level, plus three additional bedrooms upstairs across 1,792 square feet - room for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, the lot provides real outdoor space and room to make it your own. Blocks from downtown Wilmington's restaurants, shops, and the riverfront. FHA and VA financing welcome. Move-in ready - the work is done.
