Towering trees, brilliant blooms, and thriving landscaping dot this . 33 lot to provide a secluded backdrop, perfect for a home that was intentionally designed to meld with its natural setting. Step into vaulted ceiling foyer with striking original wrought iron railing and immediately appreciate the details and craftsmanship of home such as wood paneling, hardwood flooring, exposed brick, vibrantly colored trim, and abundance of windows throughout.

A rare find situated in one of N. Wilmington's most sought after communities!

R1
One-Family Detached Dwellings District
The R-1 district, one-family detached dwellings, is designed to protect and maintain those residential areas now developed primarily with one-family detached dwellings on relatively large lots and adjoining vacant areas likely to be developed for such purposes. It will enable the city to continue to provide a restricted type of environment which would otherwise be found only in suburban areas.
