Furnished 1830 Historic District Gem | 3BR, 2BA w/ Japanese Soaking Tub | Downtown Wilmington | 6-12-Month Lease
Some homes are simply nice places to live. This one is a place to come home to.
On one of the most storied blocks in Wilmington's Historic District, this 1830 home was taken down to its bones and rebuilt in 2022, with every floor, ceiling, and surface reimagined and its original soul kept intact. The result is deeply calm, quietly luxurious, and unlike anything else downtown.
A HOME WITH A STORY
Look up and you'll see original heart pine beams, cut nearly two centuries ago, stretching across the living room ceiling. Below them, white oak floors, warm teak, brushed brass, and soft limewash walls create a muted, matte palette. The furniture was designed for this home and handcrafted by artisans in Bali, and intricately carved teak doors complete a space that feels collected over a lifetime.
