About this home

Room to grow, character to keep.

Watercolor animation of stacked sea-glass stones building into a tower

Weathered to a soft seaglass blue-green, with a steep gabled roofline and a vine-wrapped entry porch, this 1900 home has the kind of curb appeal that stops foot traffic on Harbor Street. Boxwood hedges line a winding front walk, a white picket gate opens onto the side garden, and a mature shade tree anchors the front lawn in a deep, established canopy.

Inside, the home has been fully remodeled while keeping its original charm intact — custom cabinetry, a vintage stove, and a farmhouse sink anchor a kitchen that once caught the attention of House Hunters. Three bedrooms and two full baths — including a clawfoot soaking tub built for slow Sunday mornings — give the 2,090-square-foot floor plan real breathing room for a family to grow into, without losing the scale and warmth of a turn-of-the-century build.

You're inside Wilmington's Historic District here — walkable to the Cape Fear Riverwalk, zoned to New Hanover County Schools, and set on one of downtown's most photographed residential streets, quiet enough for training-wheel afternoons and close enough to walk to everything downtown has to offer.
