Downtown Wilmington home in the Historic District, near to Cape Fear River Walk

This classic, downtown house has the look and feel of a home built in the early 1900s, but all the updates of a home built just over a decade ago. Conveniently located in downtown Wilmington's historic district, and just a short walk to our booming central business district, this thoughtfully designed home has it all. A cozy, covered front porch is perfect for receiving and entertaining friends and neighbors, while the screened porch is better served for those best of friends that stay a little longer.

The hardwood floors continue upstairs, where you'll find all three bedrooms including a generously appointed master suite. Home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for someone new to call it home.
Utilities included: electricity, heat, internet, air conditioning and water.

Wedding

We stayed at the house as our daughter’s wedding reception was at the Little Drum Landing on the River Walk. This is a beautiful home. It was nice to sit and relax on the front porch. The neighborhood is very safe and we enjoyed the short walk to the river front. Would highly recommend this house.

January in Wilmington

My wife & I live in VT, but our son and daughter live in NC. We wanted to spend more time with our kids and be somewhere warmer than VT during the month of January.This was our 1st visit to Wilmington. The house is charming, well equipped (e.g. kitchen utensils), and exactly as described in the listing, located on a cobble stone street in the Historic District, and a short 10 - 15 minute walk to many restaurants, breweries, and the river walk. My only regret is that we didn't stay for an extra week, because the weather in VT when we returned was cold and snowy while Wilmington was close to 70 degrees!

Quaint house in charming neighborhood

My family stayed over Thanksgiving while in town for a basketball tournament. The house is in a great neighbor and we enjoyed being able to walk into town and to the River Walk. We had everything we needed for our small Thanksgiving dinner and relaxing time with family. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Quiet, charming, excellent home!

Quiet, charming, quite clean and roomy home! Very good quality finishes (I'm a former trim carpenter) and work inside. A couple of trains in the middle of the night, but otherwise amazingly quiet and comfortable! We were greeted by a neighborhood cat and entertained by the squirrels while there..! Parking wasn't bad, only had to park down the street once. Had a little mixup with check in initially but was straightened out promptly, no issues. We had a terrific visit and this home made it all the more special!

Family Meet Up

This home is a complete gem, nestled in a quiet neighborhood near everything you would want to do in downtown Wilmington. 4 blocks from the waterfront, and within walking distance of several coffee shops, restaurants, and attractions. We loved having quiet gatherings on the front porch. The house is tastefully decorated, and provided everything we needed for our family gathering. Loved this house!

Immaculate and comfortable

This house is beautiful- seems to have been renovated and/or recently redecorated. Everything was in perfect working order, plenty of towels and paper supplies. We were visiting with my 87 yo mother so weren’t able to do a lot of walking but for a younger group this house is located in a quiet neighborhood but a very comfortable walking distance to the downtown area. We would absolutely stay here again when visiting Wilmington.

Sweet, sentimental journey

Being from Hawaii, I live a really long way from Wilmington, which is my mother‘s birthplace. I came here 25 years after she passed away to meet second cousins and their children for the first time. I chose this beautiful house purposely in the historic district and large enough that I could have one or two friends over at a time from various parts of my life: college, graduate school, and the U.S. Army. All of them loved the house as much as I did and we were extremely comfortable. The location was perfect for walking down to the river and eating at so many wonderful restaurants.

We would love to stay here again. The house was extremely clean. The location was ideal. It’s in a great neighborhood, near Front Street, and close to many good restaurants. The hosts were responsive and helpful. Our family of four were grateful for the three nice bedrooms, laundry, and a stocked kitchen. What a great place!
