About this home
Welcome to this unique and beautiful 1930's home that was almost entirely rebuilt from the ground up in 2020. Not only is this high end, custom home a showstopper, but the ~1.3 acre property is a lush, landscaped oasis complete with a saltwater pool, guest house, 2 car garage, raised bed garden, cut flower garden and fruit tree orchard. Relax on the wraparound front porch and greet your neighbors or retreat to complete privacy on the screened porch, the deck with a hot tub or the veranda by the pool. This is an extremely rare find in the heart of Wilmington, just between Forest Hills and Brookwood.
