Tucked away in one of Wilmington's most eclectic and creative pockets, this thoughtfully reimagined 1944 cottage blends artistic character, modern functionality, and investment potential just minutes from downtown.

Natural flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas makes the home live larger than its footprint, while the separate laundry area adds everyday convenience.
