2008 Market Street

Stunning 1915 bungalow in the heart of Carolina Place! Set back nicely from Market Street, right in the midst of historic Wilmington, this 2 bed, 1 bath home is the perfect combination of preserved character and modern updates. With curb appeal for days, the manicured and fenced front yard invites you along the path up to the glorious, full front porch. Enjoy a cup of coffee while you greet passersby or simply take in the surroundings. As you enter through the grand new speak-easy front door, you'll be impressed with the functional, large living space. Continue into the impressive, thoughtfully designed kitchen, and you'll find several noteworthy details, including a new sink faucet, built-in oven, natural gas stove with chimney hood, and ample storage space. Two spacious bedrooms share the eclectic bathroom, with antique vanity, clawfoot tub and tiled shower. The newly enclosed master closet with sliding door offers generous walk-in space with laundry. Step out the back door and into your own private garden retreat. The newer deck was completely rebuilt, along with the gorgeous fence and gate. You'll enjoy endless hours in this backyard haven. This home has had no detail spared, as many significant updates have been done ''behind the scenes''- crawlspace encapsulation with dehumidifier, insulation, and lighting; HVAC system and ductwork; Rinnai tankless water heater; siding/trim and full exterior paint; and the list goes on. Private off-street alleyway parking is accessible behind the home. Located in sought-after Carolina Place, you'll love being steps from Wallace Park, Port City Java, Crofton's Pretzels, the Cargo District and more. Come experience this wonderfully preserved historic gem.
