About this home
Tucked away on North 20th Street, this charming 3-bedroom home blends historic character with thoughtful modern touches, creating a space that feels both distinctive and remarkably comfortable. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows, highlighting the beautiful hardwood floors throughout and giving the main living spaces a bright, open feel. Generously sized bedrooms, ample closet space, and a warm, inviting layout make this home as functional as it is full of character. Outside is where the property truly sets itself apart. A private brick courtyard creates an unexpected retreat in the heart of Wilmington--perfect for quiet mornings, evening dinners and entertaining friends. The courtyard leads to a detached garage offering space for additional parking, along with an attached greenhouse ready for gardening. This property's provenance holds a unique connection to Wilmington's history, with ties to the McKoy and Faulkner families, including James Hassell McKoy. Its gardens and spring blooms helped earn the home appearances on Azalea Festival home tours over the years, adding another chapter to a property already rich with local character. The Home is historic without feeling dated, private without feeling closed off, and filled with natural light and personality. 5 N. 20th Street offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home with a story, a sense of place, and spaces that are genuinely enjoyable to live in. Additionally, this home was extensively remodeled in 2023 along with a new HVAC system in late 2025 and a new tankless hot water system in 2026. This historic charmer in beautiful Historic Carolina Heights is exactly what you've been waiting for. A perfect full-time residence, weekend retreat or even an Airbnb with rare, ample parking! Come tour this fabulous home today!...
