Offered for the very first time, this one-owner home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since it was custom built in 1973. Situated on nearly an acre in one of Wilmington's most desirable and established neighborhoods, this rare property offers the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and convenience. Nestled between Wrightsville Beach and Historic Downtown Wilmington, the location is hard to beat--just minutes from UNCW, shopping, dining, parks, and everyday conveniences while tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street. The expansive homesite backs to a peaceful creek, creating a serene natural setting that's increasingly difficult to find in central Wilmington. Inside, you'll find generous living spaces filled with opportunity to make the home your own while preserving the character and craftsmanship of its original design. Whether you're looking to renovate, expand, or simply enjoy the property as it has been for generations, the possibilities are endless. Properties with this combination of history, location, acreage, and natural beauty rarely become available. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to create your next chapter in one of Wilmington's most sought-after locations.
