Property Description
With timeless architecture, lush outdoor living, & unmatched character, The Plummer House—built in 1912—is more than just a home. It is a living piece of Wilmington's Historic Downtown, ready for its next chapter. This historic gem welcomes you with a wide, Southern-style covered front porch, lined with classic white columns—a perfect space to gather with neighbors or unwind in the magic of a coastal sunset. Inside, the formal entryway opens into a grand two-story foyer adorned with elegant original hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, and transom windows. From here, you're led into the formal living & dining rooms, each featuring beautifully ornate historic fireplaces that invite both comfort & conversation. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the chef's kitchen & FR to the formal areas, creating an effortless flow ideal for both entertaining & everyday living. The kitchen is a culinary dream—designed with expansive quartz countertops for even the most ambitious baking projects, SS appliances, & a layout that blends functionality with style. The family room features a stunning coffered ceiling, a wall of windows, & elegant double doors provide a graceful transition to the outdoors. Upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms & 2 full baths, all with original hardwood floors. The primary suite is generously sized, while the en-suite bath offers a luxurious retreat with custom cabinetry, a large tiled walk-in shower, his & her closets, & a classic clawfoot tub. The true pièce de résistance of this remarkable home is its lush outdoor sanctuary. Step onto the oversized back deck & into a fully fenced backyard oasis that feels like a fairytale. Professionally landscaped, the grounds feature mature greenery, enchanting crape myrtles, majestic oaks & a charming fountain. Brick pathways wind thru the garden circling the medallion & leading to a private back lot w/ a whimsical swing and gardens. Steps away from Wilmington's vibrant Riverwalk w/ shops, restaurants and fine dining.
