Downtown Wilmington home in the Historic District, near to Cape Fear River Walk

This classic, downtown house has the look and feel of a home built in the early 1900s, but all the updates of a home built just over a decade ago. Conveniently located in downtown Wilmington's historic district, and just a short walk to our booming central business district, this thoughtfully designed home has it all. A cozy, covered front porch is perfect for receiving and entertaining friends and neighbors, while the screened porch is better served for those best of friends that stay a little longer. Inside, the main floor is covered with wide plank oak hardwoods, and offers a spacious living room, breakfast area, half bath with laundry closet, and a tastefully designed kitchen featuring granite, stainless appliances, and an impressive bar area with glass display cabinets. The hardwood floors continue upstairs, where you'll find all three bedrooms including a generously appointed master suite. Home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for someone new to call it home.
Utilities included: electricity, heat, internet, air conditioning and water.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Within walking distance to Downtown and the River Walk and an easy 15-minute drive to Wrightsville Beach, the location cannot be beat. Parking was never an issue, check in was simple and efficient and Karen always responds quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was lovely and exactly as described. It is in the historical section of town, so pretty residential and quiet - just what we wanted, When we arrived we found that the pack-and-play (crib) seemed to be faulty, but still useable. We messaged our host and a brand new one arrived within the hour!! Needless to say we were very pleased.

Wedding

We stayed at the house as our daughter’s wedding reception was at the Little Drum Landing on the River Walk. This is a beautiful home. It was nice to sit and relax on the front porch. The neighborhood is very safe and we enjoyed the short walk to the river front. Would highly recommend this house.

This was one of the best VRBO homes we've ever stayed in as a family. The house was immaculately cleaned with a very warm decor that made us feel at home quickly. The location of the house in Historic Wilmington was perfect for walking downtown for restaurants, bars and other things to do. We also found it very easy to get to and from Wrightsville Beach. The addition of a beach umbrella and a couple chairs was a lovely bonus.The screened in porch in the back was one of my favorite spots. Sitting out there one morning I was visited by a very colorful friend (see pic)Karen was very responsive and communicative throughout the duration of our stay. Would highly recommend and will likely stay here again as our son will be attending UNCW next fall!
Look closely at the knot on this tree. This was taken from the screened in back porch. Loved it!

Quaint house in charming neighborhood

My family stayed over Thanksgiving while in town for a basketball tournament. The house is in a great neighbor and we enjoyed being able to walk into town and to the River Walk. We had everything we needed for our small Thanksgiving dinner and relaxing time with family. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
