About this property
A rare opportunity to own one of downtown Wilmington's most iconic historic residences! Originally built in 1900 for William Dick, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers more than 4,100 square feet of beautifully preserved living space and is being offered for only the third time since its construction--a true once-in-a-lifetime chance to become the steward of a remarkable piece of Wilmington history. From the moment you arrive, the home's stately Neoclassical architecture and commanding curb appeal create an unmistakable sense of grandeur. Meticulously preserved and thoughtfully restored, the residence showcases timeless craftsmanship and elegance throughout. As you enter the home you step into the formal receiving room that is nothing short of exceptional. This remarkable room is anchored by the prominent staircase with a built in fireplace nook; a unique feature rarely seen in other historic homes. Other grand living spaces include a impressive parlor, formal dining room, butler's pantry, library, and five decorative fireplaces that highlight the home's historic character. Generously sized bedrooms, a charming second-floor balcony overlooking the backyard, and exquisite architectural details make this a residence unlike any other. The current owners undertook an extensive restoration and renovation, including the addition of an oversized kitchen and light-filled sunroom that seamlessly blend modern convenience with the home's historic integrity. Outside, the expansive English-style garden provides a private oasis in the heart of downtown, complete with mature landscaping and a beautiful fountain. Three distinct patios and a spacious deck flow seamlessly from the home, creating exceptional spaces for outdoor entertaining, dining, and relaxation while enhancing the property's connection to its beautifully landscaped grounds. Adding to the property's exceptional appeal, the sale includes an adjoining lot fronting S. 2nd Street. Currently utilized for additional parking, this highly desirable parcel offers endless possibilities for future use, including an ADU, pool and pool house, detached garage, guest quarters, or additional outdoor living space. Opportunities to acquire a historic downtown residence with a separate buildable lot are exceedingly rare. Properties of this caliber, history, and significance rarely become available. This truly special offering presents a unique opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Wilmington's architectural heritage while enjoying the space, elegance, and flexibility that today's buyers desire.
