South 2nd Street has to be one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Wilmington! Stroll along the river, enjoy a meal & locally brewed beer and as you go, wave to the neighbors enjoying the river breeze on their front porches.The home at 616 S 2nd is the best of both worlds: it looks like a typical bungalow with the graceful porch extending almost to the sidewalk for better interaction with passers-by, but the surprise is that except for the brick wall at the back of the home, this home was built a mere 8-10 years ago, and provides the features of a newer home: STORAGE and 2-1/2 baths!!Come in the front door & enjoy the living room straight through to the back door... a gorgeous kitchen has a large island and the area feels like entertainment special! Beautiful soft blue and navy are the accents to the clean pure while.The 3 bedrooms (one currently used as a den) are along the left (south side) of the home. That means that all 3 bedrooms enjoy the park-like area owned by the neighbor and defined by decorative brick fence.. The 2 guest bedrooms are Jack-n-Jill with a more spacious shared bath than you'd expect! There's half bath along the pantry wall. Closet doors & trims are painted the cooling blue of accents elsewhere in the home. Beyond the guest bedrooms is the giant master bedroom with luxury bath. Be sure to look at those pictures! From the kitchen area with its 3 spacious work areas, there's an entire wall FULL of storage with high cabinets overhead and below those, full pantry size closets! There's more prep or display areas or a grand place to do crafts with children or or other crafty folks! The drop zone displays the 1920(?) brick wall from the original home.The back door enters the screened in porch and deck with steps down to the fenced in area all the way to the back property line and the lot is 165' deep! As if the home isn't enough to get thrilled about, THERE IS OFF-STREET PARKING for an easy 2-6 cars, plus curbside parking!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
