Property Description
This little house will steal your heart! The setting is Wilmington's beautiful Historic Carolina Heights with its fabulous assortment of architectural styles - Craftsman, Dutch Colonial, Queen Anne, Colonial and Classical Revival. Carolina Heights, no surprise(!) is one of the most walkable (strollable?) neighborhoods in Wilmington. This house's history is interesting - The structure was originally a carriage house, and at some point, the carriage storage space was converted into living space. In about 2013, the entire house underwent an extensive renovation by the longtime owners of over 50 years for their further enjoyment of the property. The first floor is now a cosy sunken living room with gas fireplace, a wall of built-in bookcases and a large wall of windows that overlook 20th Street, flooding the space with light. The dining room accommodates a table for 6 or 8 people, and 2 cooks can work in the kitchen with no problem. From there, open the door and head out through the large covered patio (15 x 11) encircled by a pierced brick wall. From the patio, there is a side door to the garage bay/storage space for tools or toys. Automobile access to the garage is from the alley that runs along the South side of the house. The bedrooms are all upstairs as is the laundry stack unit, and bedroom 3 would make a wonderful office. The large, tiled bathroom is well-lit with a glassed-in shower. Large banks of azaleas border the private, walled patio. The property has been meticulously maintained: Both the house and garage are under termite bonds, the HVAC is checked in the Spring and Fall, and Crawlspace Concepts encapsulated the crawlspace. The house was just painted in 2020, although it looks like it was done yesterday. It is spotlessly clean and a joy to see. Best of all, the setting is surprisingly quiet. If you like to walk, the neighborhood sidewalks are calling your name.
