Our take on this home
Written by the Buddy Blake Team from the listing photos and MLS data. Not part of the MLS listing or the listing broker's description.
This two-story white clapboard property was built in 1888 and sits on a 0.17-acre lot in Wilmington, outside any subdivision. A front porch runs across the facade, supported by white columns on brick piers, and a screened front door with decorative trim opens from it. Blue shutters frame the windows, and ferns hang from the porch ceiling.
The lot has a front yard enclosed by a white picket fence, with a low brick wall along the porch and a concrete walkway leading to the steps. A paved drive runs along the side of the property to a single garage space, and there is additional on-site parking. Mature trees shade the front of the lot. The property is a duplex with six bedrooms and four bathrooms in total, heated and cooled by an electric heat pump with central air, and it is served by public utilities.
