These renovated one bedroom, one bath units are each well appointed with a comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a clean bathroom, a cozy living room with a smart TV, and an individual water heater. The mansion comes with 5 dedicated parking spots, which is very rare for downtown Wilmington. brbrThis entire mansion with 5 individual units is ideal for any type of gathering where people want to be nearby one another but still have separate living spaces, such as: family reunions, housing for a wedding party, a girl’s getaway, a friend trip with 5 couples, or a business trip with 5 people who are carpooling. Together but not TOO together is a perfect way for groups to enjoy a trip together while still having independence and alone time. brbrThere are several common areas, including a large wrap around front porch, a brick patio, and a second floor balcony. All units have access to a shared washer and dryer. Two of the units are on the first floor, two units are on the second floor, and one unit is a split level with an additional half bath. Three units are entered from an interior common area and two units are entered from the outside of the building. brbrWalk to:brBarsbrRestaurantsbrRiverwalkbrToursbrTrollybrMansionsbrbrEnjoy:brFree off-street Parking!brSnacksbrWatersbrSmart TVbrPrivate entrancebrOn-site laundrybrbrSituated right downtown in a beautiful historic row of mansions, you'll find that each of the five condos has old world charm paired with modern amenities.

You can chill out on the front porch or sit outside in backyard on the patio. The 2nd floor balcony with great views is accessed through a common area.

The architecture around the neighborhood is stunning, with mansions and large single family homes. Treat yourself to downtown's finest.brbrIf you walk out the front door onto Front Street, you'll see the glamorous Dudley Mansion from 1825, a stunning 10,000 sq ft estate that was home to North Carolina's first Governor. If you walk out the back door and down the quaint alley driveway to 2nd Street, you'll see block after block of gorgeous Victorian homes.
