Property Description

Dram Tree Realty proudly presents the Louis T. Moore House; a fine example of careful renovation in historic downtown Wilmington.The Coastal Shingle Home, built in 1910, is one of the larger, grand homes along beautiful 5th Avenue. With sidewalks and a new bike path directly in front of the home, the area is both walkable and bikeable to all of the attractions that make historic downtown Wilmington a truly desirable place to live. Step into the gracious foyer and experience the light and bright ambiance that will lead you to the formal living room with double french doors that open to the wrap around front porch. The flow of the home is perfect for entertaining, with a formal dining room and large den (that was once and could be again a spacious formal dining room). The kitchen is completely updated, while maintaining a cottage feel. A sunroom/breakfast room leads to the newly rebuilt back deck and a back yard just big enough for a kitchen garden or cook-out! Upstairs you will find a true en-suite primary bedroom with a dressing room and large walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom features a beautiful jacuzzi tub with a dedicated heat source, separate large shower, two sinks and a toilet room for privacy.Two additional bedrooms and baths make living easy in this beautiful home. There is a walk-in attic and walk-in basement! Many updates and improvements have been made recently, including (but not limited to) lined chimneys for working fireplaces, refurbished guestroom bath, new water heater, new fence and landscaping for easy enjoyment of the yard, new hvac and ductwork, new gas line and new bilco door for the basement! This home makes living in a 100+ year old home easy, with off street driveway parking and all of the conveniences of a newer home- but better! Come and see it today!
