Upstairs, the spacious primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and a luxurious en‑suite bath featuring a double vanity and tasteful tilework. A second bedroom on this level offers ample closet space and natural light, while the main hall bathroom is equally stylish. Ascend to the versatile third floor, where a loft‑style bedroom or home office awaits beneath a bright skylight and alongside custom built‑ins. The partially finished basement adds flexible living space—ideal for a recreation room, home gym, or play area—while a dedicated laundry zone and abundant storage complete the lower level. Outside, a private, fenced-in backyard patio provides the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or container gardening. Located just moments from Award Street Playground and St. Elizabeth’s Park, and a short stroll to downtown Wilmington’s vibrant Riverfront district, this home offers both neighborhood tranquility and urban convenience. With recent updates—including a new roof (2018), HVAC system (2019), and hot water heater (2020)—you’ll move in with peace of mind. Easy access to I‑95 makes commuting effortless, and nearby schools, shops, and dining ensure every amenity is within reach.
