Adorable circa 1912 cottage tucked under the protective canopy of a 100 year old live oak tree, yet perched high enough to feel like a tree house! This house was gutted to the studs and completely restored in 2006 by Wilmington's own, Steve Bakunas and his partner, the talented late actor, Linda Lavin. Zoning is the attractive UMX, Urban Mixed Use, which would allow for many potential live/work options (see documents). House has recent HVAC (2023) and hot water heater (2024)Stove is gas, fully fenced back yard, and a strong rental history. Located near the vibrant South Front- Greenfield Lake attractions. Off street parking with alley access complete this downtown unicorn. Oh, and it's being sold furnished with a few exceptions. Broker is owner.
Last checked:
As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
