1209 S 4th Street

This charming 1920 Bungalow sits up high well above the street and offers something most homes downtown don't; ample parking! Park in the driveway that runs from 4th St to the alley access on Hooper St, the gated parking pad or through another gate in the backyard. (The family purchased a 12'x150' strip from the neighbors along the left property line in 1986, enlarging the lot size to 45'x150'). Details from a bygone era include exposed rafter tails, metal roof, 7'' baseboards, built-ins, bay windows, a 24' wide rocking chair front porch and more. This 926 sq ft 2 bedroom, 1 bath home has huge potential. The sunroom overlooking the backyard, along with the full basement featuring two access points are not included in the heated sq ft measurement; add HVAC and you will have 1507 sq ft. This quiet, established neighborhood is growing rapidly with significant investment all around. The lot to the left next door just sold for $152,000 and the lot on the right has a home being built now. Pricing of new homes in the immediate area are now north of $400,000 and renovated homes are well into the $300s. Walk or ride your bike to numerous restaurants and entertainment including Satellite, Tru Blue, Bodega, Harp, Rusty Nail, Axes and Allies, Greenfield Lake and more. This 102 year old quaint home is eligible for a Black Plaque by the Historic Wilmington Foundation for anyone interested in pursuing. See attached information and application.
