1719 Wrightsville AvenueWilmington, NC 28403

This 1917 Craftsman home in the sought-after Carolina Place neighborhood offers the kind of character and history that's hard to find today. Originally built by Wallace VanLandingham and featured on past NC Azalea Festival home tours, the home showcases classic craftsmanship while benefiting from thoughtful updates made by the current owners. The welcoming front porch is perfect for relaxing and sets the tone for what you'll find inside - high ceilings, hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and detailed finishes that reflect the home's original design. Since purchasing the home, the current owners have made several improvements, including updated bathrooms and new flooring in both baths and the laundry room. Major systems have also been addressed, with a newer roof and HVAC already in place. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to entertain, garden, or unwind, and the long driveway provides ample off-street parking. Another major advantage: the home sits just outside the Historic District overlay, so you can enjoy the character of a historic property without the added restrictions. Homes like this don't come along often in Carolina Place - especially ones that have been so well cared for and updated where it counts.
