Property Description

Reimagined from its 1903 bones, this 122-year-old duplex captures the spirit of historic Wilmington while offering flexible living in the heart of the Historic District. Just minutes from the Riverwalk, top dining, entertainment, and scenic waterfront views, it's perfectly positioned for those who value walkability and opportunity: live in one unit and rent the other, rent out both, or enjoy the entire home as a spacious single residence. Each unit offers grand living and dining spaces, three bedrooms, and two tiled baths. Original hardwoods run throughout, complemented by 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, and rich paint tones. Eleven fireplaces throughout the home anchor each space with historic character, while glimpses of exposed brick reveal the craftsmanship beneath. An unfinished basement, informally known in old records as ''Unit C,'' adds another layer of intrigue to the property. The space houses an additional fireplace and offers potential to be finished for additional living or storage. Generous porches, low-maintenance landscaping, and a permanently staired attic complete the layout's thoughtful flow. After decades without residents, this home stands ready to begin its next chapter, inviting new life, new stories, and a renewed presence in one of Wilmington's most storied neighborhoods.
