Updated Home on a Large Lot in Historic Carolina Place
Step into a piece of Wilmington’s history where space, character, and modern updates come together in a way that’s hard to find today.
Located on a rare double corner lot in Historic Carolina Place, this 1915 home offers a larger footprint than many surrounding properties while maintaining the architectural charm that defines the neighborhood. Inside, the scale of the home stands out immediately—rooms are generously sized, complemented by original hardwood flooring that runs throughout and adds warmth and continuity.
While the character remains intact, key systems have been thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. The home features updated heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, including a gas-packaged HVAC system that is just three years old. All-new windows bring in natural light while improving efficiency.
Outdoor living is a standout feature here. An enormous deck extends from the rear of the home, creating a flexible space for gatherings, dining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The fenced back yard includes a firepit area and an attached “catio” (an outdoor enclosure for cats) just off the kitchen, offering a unique and functional extension of the home. There is also access from 21st Street, providing convenient off-street parking options.
The detached, wired one-car garage—accessible directly from the deck—offers excellent storage or workspace potential.
In the front, an expansive covered porch overlooks established gardens and provides a welcoming place to relax and connect with neighbors.
The location adds even more appeal. Wallace Park, a 13-acre community space with a playground, basketball court, and picnic areas, is just one block away. The Cargo District, known for its growing mix of local businesses and creative spaces, is nearby, and downtown Wilmington is approximately a 15–20 minute walk. UNCW is about 3 miles away, and Wrightsville Beach is just over 8 miles from the home.
This property offers a combination of historic character, modern functionality, and a spacious lot—all in a central Wilmington location.
