Property Description
''Home is vacant and ready to show! This charming, sunny cottage may have a smaller footprint, but it's packed with personality and character. Built in 1900, this solid 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been meticulously renovated, making it move-in ready while preserving its timeless appeal. Let's dive into the many updates that make this property stand out.
The cottage boasts a durable metal roof and newer appliances throughout, including an upgraded gas range and a stainless-steel, full-size refrigerator. Fresh modern touches are evident in every room, with updated fans, light fixtures, and white kitchen cabinets creating a bright and inviting space. In the bathroom, you'll find a newer bathtub, vanity, and subflooring, all installed to blend modern comfort with the home's vintage charm. A built-in microwave and wooden countertops add both convenience and rustic appeal to the kitchen, while the newer LVP flooring brings both beauty and durability to the living spaces.
Beyond the interior upgrades, this home offers delightful spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Enjoy a peaceful morning coffee on the front porch, or step out onto the back deck for an evening barbecue with friends. The home's prime location is one of its unique features—it's just steps away from the vibrant Castle Street Arts and Antiques District, where you'll find coffee shops, restaurants, and wine bars, adding a lively and cultured backdrop to everyday life. A quick walk will bring you to Wilmington's Historic Downtown and Riverwalk, while Wilmington International Airport is just a 15-minute drive away, adding convenience for both residents and guests.
Whether you're looking for a cozy downtown lifestyle or a profitable investment, this cottage is a fantastic choice. With its proximity to downtown amenities and its character-filled design, the home would make an ideal short-term rental. Recent improvements include a fresh exterior paint job on the front porch, deck, and trim, ensuring it's both attractive and well-maintained. For added peace of mind, a premier 210 home warranty, valued at $932.50, will transfer to the buyer at closing and remains valid until September 2025, covering essential systems and providing reassurance.
Previously, this home was listed with limited showings, which restricted the number of buyers able to see it in person. Now, with full showing access available, we're thrilled to welcome interested buyers to experience this lovely home firsthand. Don't miss the chance to explore all that this updated, character-filled cottage has to offer in one of Wilmington's most sought-after neighborhoods!
