This stunning historic home has undergone a top-to-bottom renovation, seamlessly blending modern updates with timeless charm. From the restored exterior to the beautifully reimagined interior, every detail has been thoughtfully designed. The open-concept floor plan features soaring 9-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and meticulously restored moldings that reflect the home's rich character. Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Wilmington, this property is just steps from the Castle Street Antique & Arts District, where you'll find an array of trendy cafés, restaurants, and unique shops. It's also just five blocks from the Cape Fear River and boat launch area, offering easy access to scenic waterfront strolls and outdoor activities. A rare bonus in the historic district, this home includes off-street parking and a separately deeded lot that backs up to Prices Alley—providing endless possibilities for expansion, a garden retreat, or investment potential.
