Updated 1930s Bungalow Within Walking Distance of the Cargo District
Character meets convenience just minutes from one of Wilmington’s most creative hubs.
This 1930s bungalow blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,223 square feet of heated living space. From the moment you arrive, the covered front porch creates a welcoming first impression, complete with a gated entry for added control and functionality. Around back, a partially covered rear deck also features a gate, creating a flexible outdoor setup that works well for a variety of lifestyles.
Inside, the home has been beautifully updated while maintaining its original character. Craftsman-style molding runs throughout, adding architectural interest and continuity. At the front of the home, the living room flows naturally into a formal dining room that connects to the kitchen, creating a layout that feels both open and defined. The dining room highlights one of the home’s most distinctive features—an original built-in China cabinet that reflects the craftsmanship of the era.
The kitchen has been upgraded with finishes that balance style and function:
• Quartz countertops
• Shaker-style cabinetry
• Wrap-around counter ideal for additional seating
• Gas range with a stainless steel vent hood
• Reverse osmosis system for drinking water
These updates make the kitchen a central gathering point while still honoring the home’s historic roots.
Major systems have also been addressed for peace of mind, including a roof replacement in 2018 and a new HVAC system installed in 2025.
Outdoor living extends beyond the interior with a fenced back yard that offers both usability and flexibility. A shed provides additional storage, while a patio next to the deck creates a second outdoor seating area—ideal for entertaining friends or enjoying Wilmington’s coastal climate. The rear of the property includes alley access with off-street parking, a valuable feature for homes in this area.
Location is a key highlight. The property is within walking distance to the Cargo District, one of Wilmington’s most dynamic areas known for its repurposed shipping containers, local businesses, dining, shopping, and community events. Living here places you close to a growing hub of activity while still enjoying the character of an established neighborhood.
This home offers a rare combination of historic details, modern upgrades, and proximity to one of Wilmington’s most unique destinations.

Carolina Place
Carolina Place, including Carolina Place West (west of Wrightsville Avenue), is a historical neighborhood near downtown in Wilmington, North Carolina. Builders constructed the majority of the homes between the early 1900s and the end of WWII. Because of its history, the neighborhood possesses a unique feel not found in newer communities. The history of Carolina Place is on full display just from looking at the homes' style. Quaint bungalows and cottages dominate the community, as developers constructed them for the burgeoning middle class at the time. Though constructed many years ago, Carolina Place still manages to mix its historic charm with modern updates and upgrades.

Melanie truly had our best interest at heart and proved it multiple times, she made sure NOBODY took advantage of us - shady sellers, dishonest realtors, even saved us from ourselves a few times! I will ALWAYS recommend Melanie and her team, they are not only part of a stellar company, but are amazing people. 100/10.”

“We chose Melanie Cameron to sell our Leland, NC home & it was one of the best decisions we have ever made! She not only knows her stuff related to real estate in the area, she was always responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. When she did the online video to sell our home, I fell back it love with my home. But for personal reasons, it was time for us to move on. If you are selling your home in the greater Wilmington area or SE North Carolina, we would highly recommend her & her team.”

“I would like to share my experience in moving and listing my home with Melanie Cameron. She is absolutely the best...kept me informed on everything happening daily. Helped me coordinate movers and communicated directly with the mortgage company for my buyer. The listing experience was painless and her pictures taken of my home were absolutely beautiful. She never misses a return call and was there for me at settlement. I could not have found a better realtor to get me through this process. Listing or selling she's the best.”

“There aren't words to describe how amazing Melanie and her team are! We've worked with her a couple of times in the past, most recently to sell our home in Wilmington. She knows the market, how to make your home marketable, and really shines in working through offers. She is so communicative and quickly responds to questions. Please give the Cameron Team a shot -- you won't regret it!”

“This was my fourth time working with Melanie Cameron and the Cameron Team. Once again, the experience was outstanding. Every transaction I have done with Melanie has been smooth, professional and successful. Melanie consistently goes above and beyond- from offering expert advice on pricing and presentation, to providing beautiful marketing materials and handling negotiations with skill and confidence. I always feel supported and well-informed through each step of the process. It is rare to find someone this dependable and dedicated, and I wouldn't consider working with anyone else. If you are looking for a trusted agent who delivers results time after time, I can't recommend Melanie Cameron highly enough.”
