Downtown Bliss - Vacation rental home in Wilmington, NC

This striking 1800’s Victorian duplex used to be our worst place. That is, until it underwent an broad remodel that was finished in summer of 2023. It retains its historic appeal with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a peaceful cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, floor, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro. This downstairs 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex has tons of historic charm. You enter the duplex from the back of the home into the comfortable living room that has cozy seating and a sizable intelligent TV. The primary suite has a queen bed with hybrid bed, TV, decorative original fireplace, and cavernous private bathroom with a tile shower. The bright and airy second bedroom is in the front of the home and has a queen bed with hybrid bed and TV. The second bathroom is located under the staircase but is surprisingly roomy and has a tiled shower.

The enormous eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks.

The back porch has 4 rocking chairs and overlooks the backyard garden and is a ideal place to relax.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and appreciate the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is supplied (modest and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for bigger cars, cars pulling a trailer, or additional cars. Located a short pleasant walk to the riverwalk, eateries, breweries, museums, entertainment, and more. Just a 30 min. drive to the beaches.
