Other grand living spaces include a impressive parlor, formal dining room, butler's pantry, library, and five decorative fireplaces that highlight the home's historic character. Generously sized bedrooms, a charming second-floor balcony overlooking the backyard, and exquisite architectural details make this a residence unlike any other.

Three distinct patios and a spacious deck flow seamlessly from the home, creating exceptional spaces for outdoor entertaining, dining, and relaxation while enhancing the property's connection to its beautifully landscaped grounds. Adding to the property's exceptional appeal, the sale includes an adjoining lot fronting S. 2nd Street. Currently utilized for additional parking, this highly desirable parcel offers endless possibilities for future use, including an ADU, pool and pool house, detached garage, guest quarters, or additional outdoor living space. Opportunities to acquire a historic downtown residence with a separate buildable lot are exceedingly rare. Properties of this caliber, history, and significance rarely become available. This truly special offering presents a unique opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Wilmington's architectural heritage while enjoying the space, elegance, and flexibility that today's buyers desire.
