Nestled in the heart of Historic Carolina Heights, this beautifully restored 3-bedroom home seamlessly blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating gleaming hardwood floors and creating bright, inviting living spaces throughout. Generously sized bedrooms, abundant closet space, and a warm, functional floor plan offer comfort and livability rarely found in historic homes. Step outside to discover one of the property's most captivating features: a private brick courtyard that serves as a peaceful urban retreat, perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or entertaining guests. Beyond the courtyard, a detached garage provides exceptional parking and storage, complemented by an attached greenhouse ideal for gardening enthusiasts. Rich in Wilmington history, the property has ties to the McKoy and Faulkner families, including James Hassell McKoy. Its renowned gardens and spectacular spring blooms earned the home appearances on Azalea Festival home tours, further enhancing its unique legacy and sense of place. While rich in historic charm, this home lives like a modern residence, benefiting from an extensive 2023 renovation, a new HVAC system installed in late 2025, and a new tankless water heater added in 2026.

Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or investment property, this exceptional home delivers versatility, charm, and the rare advantage of ample off-street parking.
