A remodeled full bathroom and a landing ideal for a home office or reading area complete the upper level. Outside, the property opens to an expansive and private backyard, a rare find for downtown living. Designed as a true retreat, the outdoor space features a wraparound deck, privacy fencing, outdoor storage, and a barrel steam sauna, creating an inviting setting for relaxation and entertaining. An off-street parking space adds everyday convenience. The Daniel Howard House offers a rare opportunity to own a carefully maintained piece of Wilmington history, combining timeless craftsmanship, walkable downtown living, and an exceptional outdoor retreat.
