This lovely home, built in 1927 is a classic Southern Craftsman Bungalow – with a front living room, large kitchen, an ample dining room, three bedrooms, a sitting room and two bathrooms – all downstairs.
The upstairs offers a huge bonus room, another bedroom, a bathroom and two offices! This home offers ample flex space for those who work at home, or need space for hobbies, kids' play area, workouts and creative pursuits.
There are two fireplaces downstairs for cozy nights, and a wonderful, large front porch for lemonade on summer days. Sidewalks past the house offer leisurely walks on this very neighborly street. The yard is landscaped with regional flowers and shrubs – gardenias, crape myrtle, camellias, and small palms – for minimal upkeep and maximum enjoyment. The exterior of the home was painted in 2022. Off-street parking for two cars is behind the house, and a detached garage allows parking and space for a workshop, with electricity wired, and a window air conditioning unit. There is a whole house generator for your peace of mind. Come and take a look at your new home in historic, seaside Wilmington, NC!
