Steeped in rich local history, this remarkable home was originally constructed circa 1885 by the Mitchell family, with Mr. Mitchell serving as a local railroad employee during the height of Wilmington’s industrial boom (check out the plaque by the front door). Nestled on a quiet block in the desirable Trinity Vicinity—a neighborhood proudly part of one of Wilmington’s Historic Preservation Districts to ensure its timeless architectural façade is preserved in perpetuity—this residence perfectly blends historic elegance with extensive modern updates. Inside, the current owners have thoughtfully modernized the home for everyday living and entertaining. The fully renovated kitchen now features an open-concept layout after removing the dividing wall to create a seamless, light-filled flow into the formal dining room. Main-floor laundry has been conveniently integrated into the butler's pantry along with additional storage and the full sized fridge. In the main kitchen abundant cabinetry, granite counters, and an “essentials” fridge is the epitome of form and function. An exposed brick wall leading to the 2nd and 3rd floors is in keeping with the period feel of the home. The middle floor is host to a bedroom, full bath, and a cozy den with built-ins. The perfect place to relax while watching tv or reading a book. The third floor hosts the primary suite with a freshly renovated bathroom. Major system improvements provide complete peace of mind, including replacement windows throughout, a new sliding rear door, and an HVAC system and water heater that are both under five years old. Capital roof updates include a new rear second-floor roof and gutters installed in 2024, along with the roof over the kitchen and back room replaced in 2014. Beyond the front door lies one of Wilmington's most vibrant and tight-knit communities, known for its classic brick-lined streets, brick sidewalks, and ample on-street parking. Monroe Street itself is distinguished by a community garden carved into the street, a beautiful cast-iron urn marking the block's entrance, and an upcoming city street refresh scheduled to replace the brickwork and elevate its curb appeal even further. Living here places exceptional neighborhood amenities right at your doorstep. Just a few steps away on the corner is Bean Head Coffee Bar, featured on FOX29's Breakfast with Bob, where you can grab a morning specialty coffee and a fresh homemade sticky bun. From there, you can easily walk to the Central YMCA for a workout, stroll downtown to renowned dining destinations like the James Beard-nominated Bardea, or enjoy a short spring walk to the city's famous Greek and Italian festivals. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a fully updated piece of Wilmington history.
