Property Description
Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully restored 1922 Craftsman home in the heart of Carolina Place. Blending historic character with modern updates, this thoughtfully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers the best of both worlds. From the moment you arrive, the inviting vaulted front porch sets the tone for what awaits inside. Original character abounds with stunning hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and abundant natural light throughout. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, where a fireplace serves as a focal point and gathering space. The kitchen has been meticulously updated with soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a built-in microwave and refrigerator, a generous pantry, and eye-catching exposed brick surrounding the oven. Every detail was carefully selected to complement the home's historic appeal while providing the conveniences today's buyers expect. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a luxurious ensuite bath and flexible climate control through a dual-head Mitsubishi mini-split system in addition to the home's central HVAC. Two additional bedrooms and an updated guest bath provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or a home office. Recent renovations include major system updates such as HVAC, roof, electrical, plumbing, and appliances, allowing you to enjoy the character of a century-old home with the confidence of modern improvements. Outside, you'll find a conditioned and wired workshop, ideal for woodworking, gardening, hobbies, storage, or creative space. For buyers seeking additional possibilities, the adjacent vacant lot (Lot 13R) is also available for purchase, presenting a rare opportunity in one of Wilmington's most sought-after historic neighborhoods. Located just minutes from Downtown Wilmington, the Cargo District, restaurants, breweries, shopping, and area beaches, this Carolina Place gem is ready to welcome its next owner.
