1907 Carolina Place Home Featured on One Tree Hill
Step onto the wrap-around front porch of this charming 1907 Carolina Place home and you immediately feel what makes it special: history, character, and everyday livability all rolled into one. Set on a corner lot in the heart of one of Wilmington’s most beloved historic neighborhoods, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath treasure blends turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with thoughtful updates designed for modern life. Fresh paint inside and out sets a crisp, welcoming tone, while period details—original hardwood floors that run throughout, classic millwork, and timeless room proportions—create an atmosphere that’s equal parts elegant and easygoing.
Fans of One Tree Hill will recognize the exterior right away. Featured on the television series for multiple seasons, the home served as Karen’s residence (Lucas Scott’s mother) in Seasons 1–6 and later became the home of Lucas and Peyton. That bit of television lore adds a fun layer of pop-culture cachet, but the deeper appeal is how beautifully the home lives today—comfortable, stylish, and unmistakably historic without feeling precious.
The front porch is more than a pretty face. With its gracious wrap-around design, it’s an outdoor living room in its own right—an ideal spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or to greet neighbors on evening strolls. From the porch, step inside to a welcoming foyer that opens to a formal sitting room. With a fireplace adding warmth and character (the sellers have not used the fireplaces), it invites memorable gatherings. This unique room could also be a home office or library nook. Whatever your lifestyle needs, this room is ready for it.
Adjacent to the sitting room is the living room, where natural light plays off hardwood floors and fresh, neutral paint. A fireplace anchors the living room with classic presence (again, unused by the sellers), giving the space a refined focal point that works as well for intimate conversation as it does for movie night.
The heartbeat of the home, however, is the beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen—an inspired blend of style and utility. Stainless steel appliances deliver everyday performance; a farmhouse sink offers heritage charm and practicality; floating shelves keep favorite dishes and cookbooks close at hand; and shiplap walls plus butcher block countertops pull the whole look together with that effortlessly cool, modern-vintage vibe.
All three bedrooms continue the theme of light, space, and comfort, with the same hardwood floors creating continuity and warmth. The renovated primary bath feels fresh and current, featuring a walk-in tile shower that’s as practical as it is polished. With two full baths total, daily routines and weekend hosting stay simple and smooth. Across the home’s more than 1,600 square feet, each space has been considered for how people really live today—open enough for flow, defined enough to feel cozy, and layered with the character you can only get from a true early-20th-century build.
Location is another major draw. From your doorstep, you’re close to the YMCA and Wallace Park, two beloved neighborhood anchors for staying active, walking the dog, or enjoying a sunny afternoon. Head a few minutes in one direction and you’re in Downtown Wilmington, with its riverfront boardwalk, galleries, theatres, and an ever-expanding lineup of restaurants and coffee spots. Go a few minutes the other way and you’re in the Cargo District, a creative hub known for artisanal bites, craft beverages, small-batch shops, and a steady stream of pop-ups and events. Dining, shopping, and entertainment are delightfully convenient, yet home always feels like a serene retreat when you return.
In short, this Carolina Place corner-lot classic is primed for its next chapter. It offers the romance of a storied façade recognized by One Tree Hill viewers, the comfort of more than 1,600 square feet finished with hardwoods and fresh paint, the convenience of a renovated kitchen and updated primary bath, and the lifestyle perks that come with being close to parks, coffee, dining, and entertainment. If you’ve been waiting for a historic home that feels stylish, move-in ready, and authentically Wilmington, this is the one you’ll want to see.

Carolina Place
Carolina Place 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. Click the button to learn more.

“Melanie Cameron and her team were just awesome throughout the whole selling process. This is the 5th time I've used their services and there are many reasons why I come back to them for my real estate needs. They're honest, always available, very friendly, true professionals and in all they do. I will definitely go back to them a 6th time!”

“Melanie Cameron and her team were awesome from start to finish with the sale of my home. From the great photos of my house with the marketing to Melanie's expertise in all areas of selling and advising me I was totally satisfied. Melanie was always available to answer my questions and followed up with everything in a timely manner. Melanie is a total pro and with her team you can't go wrong. I can't imagine things going any better than they did. I will call Melanie in the future for my real estate needs. Thanks Melanie!”

“5 stars is simply not enough for Melanie and her team. If you’re looking for a realtor that will educate, advocate, and dedicate themselves along the way - look no further. There are so many unknowns when buying or purchasing a home. Melanie’s knowledge and experience is unmatched. She made the process so simple to understand and made herself available for any and all questions. We felt so comfortable raising our hand, and we were always met with patience and grace. She goes out of her way to make sure you feel supported and confident throughout the whole process. With other realtors, we’ve felt like a transaction or just another number, but Melanie serves as a true advocate along the way. She is fair, honest, and levelheaded, somehow finding the perfect balance across all parties and emotions involved. She has a phenomenal reputation and it was so reassuring knowing other agents enjoy working with her just as much as we do. We could feel her dedication from listing to close. We’ve used her and her team for multiple sales and purchases, and we couldn’t be happier with the results each and every time. The hunt for a realtor can be daunting, especially if you were like us and new to an area with few or no connections. We relied on hearing from others, and we knew the importance of a genuine review, so if you’re here reading just like we were several years ago, I promise you’re in the right place!”

“After an unsuccessful attempt trying to sell with another realtor in Wilmington, we interviewed several others and decided to work with Melanie and her team. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. Melanie provided some tough love advice on improvements we should make to the house before re-listing it (which proved to be right) and promoted the home as only Melanie and her team can. Her extensive use of social media as well as her personal network within the boating community proved to be the difference-maker for our unique home. I whole-heartedly recommend the Cameron Team. We'll use them again, for sure!”

“Melanie impressed us with their professionalism, deep market knowledge, and unwavering dedication. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She provided expert advice on how to prepare our home for the market. With the uncertainty of the current economic environment, we were still able to have numerous showings and strong offers, and she negotiated skillfully to get us an incredible final sale price. Communication was fantastic. We were kept informed every step of the way, and every question was answered promptly and thoroughly. Melanie anticipated challenges before they arose and always had a plan in place. It was clear we were in capable, experienced hands from start to finish. Most importantly, Melanie genuinely cared — not just about selling the home, but about making sure we felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking to sell your home and want someone who is smart, responsive, strategic, and deeply committed to getting the best outcome possible, look no further than Melanie. We’re beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Melanie again and recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”

“I hired Melanie Cameron after speaking with numerous real estate agents in the Wilmington area. Her skill set and kindness made her the perfect fit to help me with my situation - selling my mother's house in Wilmington (after my mother had been moved to assisted living) even though I live 13 hours away in Western New York. Melanie was helpful and responsive, answering endless questions and pointing me towards resources to solve all the problems I encountered through the process. Cannot recommend Melanie highly enough.”

“I was an out-of-state seller and could not have asked for better communication from the Cameron Team. Their representation of my house was second to none. Melanie and her entire Team are very professional, honest, and transparent. You will not be disappointed in them representing you on your house sale or purchase.”
