Property Description

A Rare Opportunity in Historic Sunset Park! This beautifully maintained, one-story brick home on an oversized double lot along picturesque Northern Boulevard offers a special combination of character, space, and privacy. Originally custom-built in 1953 as the parsonage for Sunset Park Baptist Church, this distinctive home has changed hands only a few times over the decades and retains much of its original retro charm. Inside, you'll find four true bedrooms plus a bonus room, generously sized living spaces, hardwood floors, wide hallways, a gas-log fireplace, and an array of unique details rarely found in today's homes. Thoughtful updates include a new HVAC system and ductwork in 2020, a new water heater in 2024, whole home Generac generator with warranty, and fresh interior paint throughout. A spacious 32x9 screened porch spans most of the back of the home, overlooking a private, wooded backyard, while an additional 11x8.5 sunroom/flex space connects to the porch and is accessible from two bedrooms, including the primary suite. The property also features a 12x8 wired storage shed, a substantial 24x16 wired workshop, and a well supplying multiple outdoor spigots. The oversized double lot offers exceptional space, privacy, and possibilities for a future accessory dwelling unit. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant flowering plants and mature trees that attract birds and butterflies. Keep an eye (or ear) out for the entertaining family of owls. Enjoy the convenient location near Historic Downtown Wilmington, Greenfield Lake and its walking paths, fishing, tennis, pickleball, skate park and concert amphitheater, as well as Legion Stadium and pool, the Wilmington Sharks baseball field, a neighborhood park with basketball playground and open fields, and local favorites like Dram Tree Tavern and Winnie's Burgers. A truly special home with a rich history, timeless character, and room inside and out to make it your own!
