ON A DOWNTOWN ROW HOUSE
6 Market Street , Wilmington, NC 28401
It’s kind of hard to characterize this type of structure. Even though it does share walls with other properties, it is a single family home, so it’s not accurate to call it a townhouse or duplex. People from Philadelphia may have the best description. Up there they would call this a Row Home. Built around 1900 it is located in the heart of downtown and has been fully renovated! It offers views of the Cape Fear River and the Battleship. The downstairs is set up as a unique gathering space, or a private pub with custom wood work throughout, a Brunswick pool table, bartop with concrete countertops/sinks, powder room, electric fireplace, television and surround sound system. Upstairs is the main living room and the master suite with custom built in cabinets, a walk in closet with custom shelving, and a skylight. Additional features include a security system, whole house water filter, updated HVAC unit, floored attic space and hidden storage spots. The home has one bedroom, one and half baths and measures just under 1,200 square feet. Asking price $550,000

LARGEST HOME IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY
100 South 3rd Street, Wilmington
The largest home for sale in the tri-county area is one you’ve probably already noticed. Maybe you’ve attended a wedding at the Greystone Inn or perhaps, even spent a night here. At the very least, maybe you’ve walked or driven by it. At 15,000 square feet the home is huge, but its appeal is also about its history. It was built at the turn of the last century for the daughter-in-law of the President of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. No expense was spared with Indiana limestone exterior and white Italian Carrara marble in the entrance way. There are twelve bedrooms and twelve and a half baths. While the current owners have gone to great lengths to preserve the past, there are also modern conveniences, especially in the kitchen. From top to bottom, this home is filled with wow factors. Our favorites are the 14 foot Corinthian columns, the original brass wall sconces, and the grand staircase. A side note, since it has been operating as a B&B, notable guests have included Alan Alda, Dennis Hopper, Jay Leno and Tom Cruise. Asking price $2,250,000.For more information.
