About this home
A rare opportunity to put down roots in the heart of Midtown Wilmington--with an in-ground pool, separate apartment, and possibilities that extend well beyond the typical single-family home. The main residence offers three bedrooms and two baths with a comfortable mix of character and functionality. At the center of the home is a chef's kitchen featuring granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and plenty of room to gather. Two distinct living spaces provide flexibility for both everyday life and entertaining--a more formal living area alongside a relaxed family room with a fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Outside, the private in-ground pool creates an unexpected retreat right in the middle of Wilmington. Whether it's a quiet afternoon at home or a weekend spent entertaining friends, having your own pool adds a lifestyle element that's especially appealing in this convenient Midtown location. Adding another dimension to the property is a separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment above the detached garage, complete with its own kitchen, living space, and private entrance. This setup creates possibilities for rental income, extended family, guests, a private workspace, or simply having a completely separate space from the main residence. And for someone with a bigger vision, there is more to explore. The adjoining properties are also being offered for sale, creating a rare opportunity to assemble multiple connecting tracts in one of Wilmington's growing central locations. Purchase this property independently or explore the potential for a larger investment, multigenerational property, or long-term legacy holding. Located in the established Winter Park area of Midtown Wilmington, you're minutes from UNCW, Long Leaf Park, Oleander Drive and College Road, with convenient access to downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. It's a property that works as a home today while offering flexibility for how you may want to use it in the future.
