Recipient of the 2019 Preservation Award for Rehabilitation, the historic Parsley-Wiggins House seamlessly blends timeless character with refined modern updates. This turn-of-the-century Queen Anne residence sits on a picturesque brick-lined street in the heart of downtown Wilmington, offering a rare combination of charm, versatility, and income potential from it's accessory apartment. (500 SqFt of living space not included in the listed square footage.) A welcoming covered front porch leads into a grand foyer, where high ceilings, rich hardwood floors and a stunning staircase immediately set the tone. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and recessed lighting, with direct access to a brand-new wraparound deck overlooking the yard and gardens. Just off the living room, a flexible space serves beautifully as a first-floor primary suite, guest quarters, formal dining room, or home office. This area includes custom built-ins and a well-appointed en suite bath with laundry. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with access to its own full bath. The impressive owner's suite is a true retreat, featuring its own sitting room with built-in bookcases and a newly renovated spa-like bath with marble tile floors, sky light, dual vanity and a curb-less walk-in shower with tile surround. Beautiful wood windows with plantation shutters let in an abundance of natural light and charming details like picture rail molding, stained glass accents and six fireplaces enhance the homes historic character. Walk along the brick garden path, through the side gate and down to the back patio, it is here that you will find the private entrance to a modern efficiency apartment with its own kitchen, full bath and laundry. This space would make an excellent in-law suite or income producing rental. The professionally landscaped backyard feels like a private oasis-fully fenced, serene, and unexpectedly quiet for its central location. Perfectly positioned on a sought-after block in the heart of historic downtown, you're just steps from the Riverwalk, dining, shopping, and all the vibrant culture that defines downtown Wilmington. Additional upgrades include an encapsulated basement/crawlspace with ample bonus storage (be sure not to miss it during your tour!)
