A 1920s bungalow in the heart of historic Wilmington.

This bungalow has been standing in Wilmington's Historic District for over a century, and the bones show it. Original hardwood floors run through the living room and bedrooms, and the covered porches — one front, one back — give the house its rhythm. The lot is modest but the backyard opens up enough for off-street parking and whatever you decide to do with the rest of it.

The location does a lot of the living. The Wilmington Riverwalk along the Cape Fear River is a short walk away, and the immediate blocks hold local theater, craft breweries, live music, and boutique shops. When the city feels like too much, the coast is a short drive out.
