Own a piece of Wilmington history in the heart of Sunset Park, one of the city's most beloved downtown neighborhoods. Built in 1910, this 2,628 sq ft classic home has been thoughtfully and extensively updated -- the kind of bones-deep renovation that turns a historic gem into a move-in-ready home without sacrificing an ounce of character. The main level flows generously from a grand foyer through formal living and dining spaces into a completely rebuilt kitchen and adjoining room -- the kitchen area was taken to the studs and rebuilt from the ground up with modern finishes while honoring the home's original craftsmanship. Freshly stripped trim, staircase, and fireplace showcase the natural wood that newer homes simply can't replicate. Upstairs, three bedrooms -- including an oversized primary suite with a newly built walk-in closet -- offer flexibility for families, remote workers, or guests. Three full baths serve both levels with ease. Additional updates include nearly all-new electrical throughout, all outlets converted to grounded, new water supply lines including the main line, and a freshly run natural gas line serving the kitchen stove and an outdoor grill hookup -- plus a rear hose bib added for convenience. These are the high-ticket, low-glamour investments that protect buyers for decades. Step outside and the property delivers on every front -- literally. A large covered front porch sets the tone the moment you arrive, perfect for the slow mornings this neighborhood was made for. Out back, a rear deck leads to a private, fenced yard with a dedicated firepit area and a storage shed, all sheltered enough to feel like your own retreat. A carport keeps your vehicle covered without sacrificing the home's curb appeal. Sunset Park puts you minutes from Greenfield Lake Park, the Greenfield Lake Amphitheatre, and the South Front District's growing restaurant and bar scene, with the quiet, tree-lined streets that make this one of Wilmington's most sought-after addresses. This is the one people drive through Sunset Park hoping to find.
