The upper-level bathrooms have been elegantly modernized with marble vanities and timeless subway tile work. Outdoor living is defined by the iconic covered front porch overlooking the parkway and a private brick paver patio in the rear. A full basement with an outside entrance provides exceptional utility and storage. From its origins housing Wilmington’s civic leaders to its beautifully renovated state, this home represents a rare opportunity on one of the city's most prestigious boulevards.
