Description
Directly across the street from Robert Strange Park in Downtown Wilmington sits a charming cottage ready for new owners! 410 S 8th street was originally built in 1903. Extensive renovations and upgrades makes this a perfect blend of old-home-character with turn-key peace of mind. This home sits high up on its lot, shaded by a beautiful oak tree, with freshly painted wood siding and a welcoming front porch. A brick driveway adds to the character and provides that off street parking everyone wishes they had downtown! As you enter into the large central hall you will immediately notice the tall ceilings, original hardwood floors and an abundance of oversized windows which fill the space with natural light. This flexible floor plan includes three rooms, each would be great for a bedroom, living room or office- you decide! The central hall also offers ample space and possibilities. The fully renovated bathroom is packed with charm. You will love the claw foot tub/shower combo with a floor to ceiling tile surround and the refinished antique sink vanity. Off the back of the home you will find the kitchen, all recently renovated with custom cabinetry, stunning wood countertops and a whimsical tile back splash. The backyard offers a private oasis, fully fenced in and with fresh sod (which is thriving with all the recent rain!) This home was taken to the studs and received a full renovation over the past 3 years. New electrical, all new plumbing including the main line to the street, new metal roof and custom gutters, new HVAC and gas heat, new wood siding, Rockwool insulation, tankless water heater and more! Plus an excellent location, just a few blocks away from the Castle Street Arts District and all the amenities that Downtown Wilmington has to offer. Plus, there are tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball courts, a swimming pool, fitness center and more, all located just across the street in Robert Strange Park.
