Welcome home to 806 S 16th Street, a character-filled Cape Cod just one block from Wilmington's buzzing Cargo District. Original hardwood floors mix with durable LVP and tile throughout, giving this home a warm, lived-in feel from the moment you walk in. The open living area flows right into a crisp bright kitchen finished with a subway tile backsplash. This home lives like a 4 BR / 1.5 BA home! The main level offers two bedrooms plus an Office/ Bedroom and a full bath, while the 2nd floor adds approx 400 sq ft with two large Bedrooms and a convenient half bath (the second floor does not meet finished space ceiling height requirements and is NOT included in the heated sq footage) . Unwind in the spacious fenced yard, complete with a 12x20 shed offering plenty of room for storage, a workshop, or hobby space. Whether you're grilling out or just enjoying the quiet, this backyard is built for it. Location is everything here: you're a short stroll to the shops, restaurants, and bars of the Cargo District, about 2 miles to the downtown riverfront, and roughly 9 miles from Wrightsville Beach. This home has endless possibilities as a turnkey investment property and is currently an active successful Airbnb, it can be sold completely furnished if desired. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of one of Wilmington's most exciting, fast-growing neighborhoods. Schedule your showing today!
