Own a piece of history in this 1903 Colonial Revival home built by Captain A. M. Wilson & designated as a local landmark by the Historic Wilmington Foundation. Known more recently as ''Miss Dolly's'' house with details on the historic plaque, you'll love every square inch of this ''historical charmer''. Timeless character in the original hardwood floors & doors, crystal knobs, 10 ft ceilings, preserved staircase, ornate wainscoting, four fireplaces, beautiful molding and even the original clawfoot porcelain tub. Sip some sweet Southern tea on the rocking chair front porch, meal preparation is a delight in the updated eat-in kitchen, and enjoy the convenience of a full bathroom on each level. The main level has the living/dining areas plus convenient 3rd bedroom. Upstairs has two bedrooms, a large laundry room with shelving and an adorable landing perfect for reading by the windows. A private deck off the primary bedroom has an additional stairway lined with lattice. Entertain outdoors in the fenced backyard with gazebo and wrap around deck. Modern updates include tankless water heater '25, Roof '19, two HVAC's '21 & '22, and exterior paint '23. Formerly a successful AirBNB rental this home has excellent investment potential.
