Property Description

It's not every day that you have a chance to buy a historic home such as this. Not only is it historic in that it was built in 1897 and is registered with the Historic Wilmington Foundation with a plaque but it is also historic in that it was the one and the same house which was used as the ''Muppet house'' in the 1999 movie Muppets From Space filmed right here in Wilmington! Even before you enter the Norman Rockwell-esque white picket fence gate you have a feeling about this house that it is a special place. The front porch is a rare and important feature of this house that makes its charm second to none. Once inside you really get a full effect of the historical nature of this house and the careful thorough restoration. High ceilings, crown moldings, wainscoting, chair rails, heavy baseboards and trim, beautiful chandeliers, original wood floors. The parlor is welcoming and full of natural light and features one of five fireplaces with decorative accents and mantles. The formal dining room is charming and comfortable at the same time. The kitchen is fully updated with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and new appliances. Large pantry provides ample storage. Upstairs you will see more of the charm and historical ambiance provided in this home. The bedrooms are large with fireplaces and larger closets than normally seen in a house of this vintage. The bathrooms are in excellent condition and still retain historic feel. One special feature is the sleeping porch on the back of the house which is accessed from one of the bedrooms. It overlooks the peaceful soothing backyard. It is a wonderful place to take a nap! The backyard is a place that puts you in a relaxed and peaceful frame of mind. It is large enough to enjoy and yet not too large that it becomes a burden with maintenance. Overall this is a rare and excellent opportunity to own a true piece of history.
