709 S 2nd ST Wilmington, NC 28401

Welcome to a piece of real estate heaven in Downtown Wilmington! Just a short walk from the Cape Fear River, Historic Downtown, and the Castle St. Antique District, this 1898 Victorian beauty has 4 BRs and 3 Full BAs with a first-floor Master Suite (a rare find Downtown), 9+ ft ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, ample on and off-street parking, and plenty of closet space throughout.

Enjoy all the charm of a historic home with many new updates, including a brand new metal roof (Dec 2020), new front and back doors (2019), a tankless hot water heater (2017), and ADA-compliant toilets (2017). The central HVAC unit is serviced annually and in good working condition.

An antique brick central fireplace fitted with working gas logs captures you upon entry and you can move easily from the open living and dining rooms into the cozy kitchen (which features glass-front cabinets, all stainless steel appliances, and a new Kitchenaid dishwasher (2018). The W/D is tucked away under the staircase to avoid stealing from the home's ambiance. Upstairs has 3 additional bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, one with a clawfoot tub and the other a walk-in shower. (The tubs do need to be re-glazed but are in perfect condition otherwise.)

Didn't think it could get any better? Imagine ending your day with a Carolina sunset off the spacious front porch or enjoying the open patio with mature plantings and a privacy fence out back. Need more? A large separate outbuilding is more mini-garage than storage shed, with a paved floor and plenty of room for all of your tools, bikes and storage bins. Plus, you're a block from the ''official'' National Historic District, giving you more flexibility as updates, decorations, and structural changes do not have to comply with stringent and sometimes prohibitive historic regulations.

Like we said: A little slice of Heaven in Downtown that won't last long!!
