About this property
Historic Downtown Wilmington- Walk to Riverwalk, Bars, Weddings- Easy Beach Trip
Welcome to our Comfortable Historic District home, just 3 short blocks to all the best that Wilmington has to offer. You get the best of both worlds - a short walk to the riverwalk, coffee, great restaurants, bars, and wedding venues - but with a comfortable quiet neighborhood vibe. Short 15-20 minute drive to either Wrightsville or Carolina Beach, some of NC's best beaches. Fully equipped to accommodate your perfect visit to downtown Wilmington, NC. Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of downtown.
This property is a private full home as one side of a side-by-side duplex, offering rare amenities for Downtown Wilmington including great parking and driveway, private fenced-in backyard area, huge wraparound front porch with relaxing rocking chairs. You will not find many properties or rentals downtown with amenities like this.
On the main floor, walk in to a refurbished, fresh, and clean space designed for comfort and relaxation. Fresh functional kitchen with coffee essentials, cooking necessities, door to access the back yard, dining table with room for 6-8, and more. Comfortable living room with new Samsung Smart TV offering access the most popular streaming services. Fast >200mbps WiFi. Clean and fresh powder room.
Upstairs has 2 large bedrooms, one featuring a large comfortable king bed, and the second with a comfortable queen bed. Perfect fit for a small family, group of couples or group of friends. Full bathroom with newly updated shower upstairs.
The biggest attraction to this home is the level of comfort/amenities offered in a full home close to downtown. Located on Dock St, this is as central as it gets. Walk 3-4 blocks to downtown, and one more to the Riverwalk. Incredible location for a Downtown Wilmington visit. You will struggle to find a reason to drive or Uber anywhere during a stay here.
Downtown Wilmington is special in that it offers a rich history, fun vibe and culture - but is also a coastal town. A 15-20 minute drive gets you to the best beaches NC has to offer, including Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. There is no shortage of fun activities!

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Gillespie
I am a UNC Tar Heel alumni that moved to Wilmington, NC for business and the coastal lifestyle! I love all things real estate - I am a real estate agent, short term rental property manager, and investor. I self-manage my listings because I enjoy curating experiences for others, and I love hearing each guests unique story. I have listings available in the Wilmington area, Wrightsville Beach, Surf City/Topsail Beach, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill. From quick getaways and family vacations to business trips and work-from-home setups, we have you covered and guarantee a pleasurable experience!
Why they chose this property
This area of Downtown Wilmington offers the best of both worlds - a short walk to the riverwalk, coffee, great restaurants, bars, and wedding venues - but with a comfortable quiet neighborhood vibe. Downtown Wilmington is special in that it offers a rich history, fun vibe and culture - but is also a coastal town. A 15-20 minute drive gets you to the best beaches NC has to offer, including Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. There is no shortage of fun activities!
What makes this property unique
This property was my first personal home; which I have since improved and converted into a place to share with others. This home is what sparked my passion for curating experiences and sharing wonderful spaces with others. Many historic duplexes in the downtown area will be a top-and-bottom style, while this property is well thought-out and very unique as features a side-by-side style, offering many advantages including private separate parking, outdoor areas, deck areas, and no noise up and down. Each side features a private driveway, which is hard to come by downtown where most houses must utilize only street parking. It has a large wrap-around front porch which is relaxing and inviting with multiple rocking chairs. A private back yard area tops it off. You will not find many properties or rentals in Downtown Wilmington with amenities like this.
