Stately colonial located in the heart of Wilmington on half an acre in Hoggard School district and not in a HOA. Professionally landscaped with a charming feel. As you walk the path toward the front door, you'll be greeted by the sweet aroma of the Gardenias. Step into the grand foyer with beautiful hardwood floors that run throughout most of the first floor. To the left of the foyer, is the formal living room with large floor-to-ceiling windows. A library or home office is located on the back of the home overlooking the gardens. The family room has a gas fireplace and a French door leading out to the spacious deck & screened-in porch. A charming brick patio trails a path to the side of the home to the rubber rock driveway that will brilliantly withstand years of use. The garden shed is tucked into an enchanting corner of the garden. The beamed ceiling in the shed was reminiscent of something you would see in Colonial Williamsburg. The gardens have a sprinkler system that is hooked up to a well. The kitchen has a wide double window above the sink that offers a fabulous view of the backyard. Inside the kitchen, you'll be delighted to see it has 2 pantries, an island, granite counters, and a breakfast nook with floor-to-ceiling windows, plus there is a formal dining room. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms plus a bonus room. The master suite has a walk-in closet, and vaulted ceilings in both the bedroom & bathroom. The spacious bathroom has a long counter with dual sinks, a separate tub, and a shower. The guest bedrooms are all spacious and can easily fit queen size beds. At the end of the hallway is the bonus room with soaring ceilings and architectural charm. This home has been lovingly cared for by the original owners and the roof was replaced just a few years ago. Wrightsville Beach is approximately 15 minutes, shopping, and restaurants are just minutes away.
