Mid-Century Charm in Sunset Park National Register Historic District
Welcome home to this darling 1955 mid-century gem nestled in the heart of Sunset Park, a beloved historic district recently featured on the Azalea Festival Home Tour and located just minutes from downtown Wilmington. Brimming with character, this three-bedroom home offers timeless appeal both inside and out.
The showstopper? A centuries-old Southern live oak graces the front yard, its majestic canopy offering shade and serenity. This iconic tree is currently under review by the Wilmington Tree Association as a Tree of Distinction and was recently professionally pruned and deadwooded by a licensed arborist. A lush border of azaleas—four varieties in total—frames the home with seasonal blooms, creating a stunning, secluded feel. (It gets better—there's even a zoned irrigation system!)
Step inside to find original wood floors throughout, spacious closets in each of the three bedrooms, and a beautifully renovated bathroom (2023) featuring a glass walk-in shower and vintage-inspired tilework. The bright, retro kitchen is brimming with charm, including the original wall stove—still works!
French doors lead to the deck, allowing natural light to pour in. Out back, a wooden deck transitions to your own private oasis: mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a stone-ringed fire pit offer the perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining.
Additional features include a carport, ample driveway parking, laundry/utility room with a wet sink, backyard shed, and fence (wire).
Whether you're drawn in by the storybook landscaping, the vintage details, or the quiet charm of Sunset Park, this home is one you won't want to miss!
