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.
