Description

This 1904 Victorian Queen Anne home, in the heart of downtown Wilmington, has been meticulously and completely restored by the current owners. The floor plan of this 4 771 square foot home provides an abundance of open space and flexibility of use. Beautifully renovated kitchen includes walnut and maple counter tops, Carrara marble backsplash, 6 burner gas stove with griddle, built in vintage matching corner cabinets (kitchen and dining room), warming oven, wall oven and microwave unit, custom Blue Ridge cabinetry, onyx stone sink, wet bar, separate walk-in pantry, and step-up bar with unique bar back. Many original features including: 7 fireplaces (three with gas logs), leaded glass windows and skylight, refinished hardwood floors on first and second floor, crown moldings, 3 sets of pocket doors, original staircase, 5 panel doors, glass doorknobs and brass hardware, oversized and refinished vintage bath tubs, and push button light switches. The woodwork and exterior wood have been hand stripped down to the bare wood before painting. The systems and roof have all been updated. Windows are operational with storms and custom shades. You will be able to enjoy the welcoming front porch and the original iron fence, iron gate, gas lights, and tree lined street front. You also can relax on either one of the two-tier screened in porch and upper deck in the back overlooking the beautifully walled in garden area. The extra effort was taken to install the stone and metal fencing with an electric gate completely enclose the back yard which boasts two working antique fountains and a private off-street parking area. This unique property is a rare find and a spectacular place to call home.
