Located in Wilmingtons highly desirable Cool Spring neighborhood, just blocks from Trolley Square, this exceptional 1920s Colonial Revival residence offers a rare opportunity to own a home of remarkable architectural integrity, where the current owner has carefully restored and preserved much of its original character. A welcoming enclosed vestibule with original red quarry tile sets the tone for the homes timeless character and scale. French doors open to a spacious reception hall and elegant formal living room with fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the dining room, currently utilized as a family room. A distinctive architectural highlight is the opening between the dining and kitchen areas, accented by original trim and a stained-glass once a butlers pantry or serving passagenow serving as a striking focal point that preserves its historic detail while accommodating modern use. The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully updated over time and features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, flowing seamlessly into the morning room with access to a private deck and backyard, complete with a newly added pergola for outdoor enjoyment. Throughout the home, original transom windows, divided-light French doors, rich hardwood floors, wide Craftsman-style millwork, and period hardware reflect the craftsmanship and intention of early 20th-century design.
