About the property
Forget cookie cutter flips and generic boxes. This turn key, fully furnished residence is a rare piece of living Wilmington history, lovingly resurrected with authentic architectural salvage, hand blown wavy glass, undeniable soul, and an extraordinary turn key investment opportunity.
Steeped in history and thoughtfully restored, this turn of the century 1900 cottage offers a one of a kind blend of local story, architectural character, and modern comfort. Tucked in Wilmington's historic urban core, every inch of this home has been lovingly curated with creative design and salvaged coastal North Carolina history. Delivered completely furnished and move in or rental ready from day one, it presents a seamless, low maintenance investment property or turn key coastal sanctuary. As you approach the home, you are greeted by a reclaimed historic front door with authentic hand blown wavy glass, originally sourced from a Water Street establishment. Inside, the sunlit living space centers around an exposed 1900 brick fireplace uncovered and restored during renovation, set alongside plaster wall finishes and custom touches inspired by classic Scandinavian interior styling. Antique historic repurposed French doors seamlessly connect the interior spaces, leading toward a truly unique bathroom designed with soaring raised ceilings, exposed historic timber rafters from local architectural salvage, glass block accent windows, and a custom console sink built from an antique Singer sewing machine base. The home effortlessly balances its historic soul with everyday convenience and durability, featuring high efficiency zoned climate control with a disguised mini split system, structural foundation enhancements, and updated electrical and plumbing components. Towards the back, an inviting and functional kitchen with freshly painted cabinetry opens directly onto an expansive rear deck, creating a seamless transition to outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing in the coastal air. Perfectly located, the best of Wilmington is right around the corner. You are moments away from Castle Street with local and tourist favorites like Luna Caffe, Gravity Records, and Vintage Values, and only a few blocks to the vibrant Cargo District, Wilmington's riverfront, local dining, shops, and arts districts. Whether you are seeking a lucrative turn key short term or long term rental asset or a personality packed private retreat, this home offers an exceptional investment where history, lifestyle, and value meet in every detail.
