Description

Multiple bids, highest and best by 2/7/2022, noon. Carolina Place, a very special place to call home. Why? Well, to start, most people don't know it is classified as a historic district and was put on the National Register of Historic places in 1992. It was the first suburban neighborhood in Wilmington with its houses built between 1906 and the beginning of WWII. It is classified as a historic district, but does not require the owner to go to the Historical Society for permission to make any special changes to the exterior. In the spring and summer there are walking tours to explore the architecture. With it's tree lined streets, charming houses, 13 acre Wallace Park, all within walking distance to Port City Java, Cargo District, and local restaurants, we are sure you can find something to do. Now a little history about the home.... This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has maintained most of its original charm by restoring the windows, hardwood floors, interior doors/their glass hardware, beautiful glass French doors leading into the dining room, original large baseboards and special molding around the doors and windows. The owners favorite part of the home is the built in bookcases and their glass doors. The large original fireplace mantle is begging for a big tv, or more books! Some other perks for this charmer bee is the hard to find off street parking, and a garage (depending on the size of your car), or a big work shop, along with a screened in porch. The home has an attached deck with built in benches, and a fenced in back yard. This home is clean, fresh, and spacious offering 1450 sq ft, which is pretty big compared to so many of the 1100-1200 square foot bungalows in this neighborhood. You won't believe this home was built in 1922 because it has had all of the systems updated, and properly maintained. Come enjoy the extra square feet, off street parking, screened in porch, and large rocking chair front porch.
