About this home

Welcome to this charming mid-century cape cod style cottage perfectly situated in a prime location just minutes from the airport and a short drive to downtown Wilmington.

While nonfunctional, it serves as a beautiful architectural focal point and a reminder of the home's original craftsmanship. The inviting eat-in kitchen blends country charm with thoughtful details, featuring butcher block countertops, a single farm-style sink, and a timeless green subway tile backsplash. Just beyond the kitchen lies the heart of the home, the spacious family room.

Outside, the home is perfectly positioned on a quiet corner lot surrounded by mature hardwoods, offering both privacy and a serene setting. The expansive powered workshop is a true standout feature ideal for woodworking, hobbies, storage, or even a future creative or business space.
