Property Description

Welcome to 314 N 5th Ave, the recipient of the 2003 Preservation Award for Restoration from the Wilmington Historic Foundation. This beautifully preserved 1888 Victorian home offers original craftsmanship, spacious living, and an unbeatable downtown lifestyle. Located in Wilmington's Historic District, a rocking-chair front porch welcomes you to an interior featuring a formal dining room with a built-in china hutch, large living room, 2 ornate fireplaces, and a large kitchen with brand-new appliances. Original hardwood floors grace the staircase and most of the second level. The main level combines hardwoods and durable LVP, with original hardwoods preserved beneath the LVP, offering an opportunity to uncover even more historic character.
