Welcome to 1012 Fanning St — a fully updated 1920s cottage in the heart of Downtown Wilmington. This one's got character and the heavy lifting already done. From the crawl space to the attic, everything's been touched — while keeping the charm that makes these historic homes so special.
Located right between the Soda Pop District and Brooklyn Arts District, you're surrounded by local coffee shops, breweries, art galleries, and just minutes from the Riverwalk. If you're not from Wilmington — this is one of the most walkable and up-and-coming pockets of the city.
The house itself has a big front porch perfect for morning coffee, plus a screened-in back porch where you can hang out and relax. Inside, it's an open layout with original archways and crown molding, a spacious living room, and a kitchen with stainless appliances and a breakfast nook that connects to a flex/dining room.
The primary bedroom has its own full bath, and both bathrooms have floor-to-ceiling tiled shower/tub combos. Two more bedrooms and another full bath make it a great fit for a full-time home, a second place near the beach, or even a short-term rental.
Less than 10 minutes to Wrightsville Beach and 15 to ILM Airport — you're getting the downtown lifestyle with easy access to the coast.
