This 1904 Victorian Queen Anne home, in the heart of downtown Wilmington, has been meticulously and completely restored by the current owners. The floor plan of this 4 771 square foot home provides an abundance of open space and flexibility of use. Beautifully renovated kitchen includes walnut and maple counter tops, Carrara marble backsplash, 6 burner gas stove with griddle, built in vintage matching corner cabinets (kitchen and dining room), warming oven, wall oven and microwave unit, custom Blue Ridge cabinetry, onyx stone sink, wet bar, separate walk-in pantry, and step-up bar with unique bar back. Many original features including: 7 fireplaces (three with gas logs), leaded glass windows and skylight, refinished hardwood floors on first and second floor, crown moldings, 3 sets of pocket doors, original staircase, 5 panel doors, glass doorknobs and brass hardware, oversized and refinished vintage bath tubs, and push button light switches. The woodwork and exterior wood have been hand stripped down to the bare wood before painting. The systems and roof have all been updated. Windows are operational with storms and custom shades. You will be able to enjoy the welcoming front porch and the original iron fence, iron gate, gas lights, and tree lined street front. You also can relax on either one of the two-tier screened in porch and upper deck in the back overlooking the beautifully walled in garden area. The extra effort was taken to install the stone and metal fencing with an electric gate completely enclose the back yard which boasts two working antique fountains and a private off-street parking area. This unique property is a rare find and a spectacular place to call home.

Welcome to the charming Allen-Woodward House (circa 1886), the 2015 recipient of the Historic Wilmington Foundation’s Preservation Award for Rehabilitation and one of the featured homes on the “Doors of Wilmington” postcard. It’s located 3 short blocks from the riverfront in the Historic District of downtown Wilmington. It includes rare off-street parking with a carport secured behind a remote-controlled gated access. Many updates have been made, including new exterior paint (2019), a new roof (2018), new HVAC (2015), and elevator (2015). The home maintains its original historic charm through extensive woodwork and attention to detail throughout. It features 7 fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and heart pine flooring. The HVAC is gas downstairs and heat pump upstairs. On the first floor is the living room and gourmet kitchen, which has a gas cooktop, and built-in wall oven and microwave (stainless steel). The master suite is on the second floor and features a sitting room, walk-in closet, Jacuzzi tub, and dual vanity. This home could be 3 or 4 bedrooms (4th bedroom doesn’t have closet). The property also has a 2-story carriage house with a second-floor bedroom. The total sq.ft. is 663 (both floors are livable), but the ceiling height downstairs is shy of the 7ft requirement, so sq.ft. must be represented as 332 sq.ft. This property is located within walking distance of area shops, activities, and dining (both casual and fine).

In addition to the 4 bedrooms, there is an income producing studio apartment. Additional features include deep double rear porches, an open flat backyard and plenty of off-street parking.
