Welcome to the historic Samuel Reaves House, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the heart of Downtown Wilmington. Original heart pine floors anchor the living and dining rooms, where a striking double fireplace sets the tone for timeless character and warmth. Behind the charming bungalow façade, the home opens up to a surprisingly spacious layout. A second living area leads through a dramatic cathedral-ceiling hallway, connecting seamlessly to the screened-in porch and private primary suite. The fully remodeled kitchen features new cabinetry and granite countertops, blending modern functionality with historic appeal. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a tiled walk-in shower and an elegant freestanding soaking tub. Both bathrooms have been completely renovated, the interior has been freshly painted, and the HVAC system was replaced in 2023—meaning the heavy lifting is already done. Outside, a brick courtyard creates a secluded oasis with shaded privacy and an in-ground spa—perfect for unwinding after enjoying all that downtown living has to offer. Located on the 500 block of South 2nd Street, this tight-knit stretch of downtown feels like its own neighborhood, where porch waves and friendly hellos are part of daily life. Historic character, thoughtful updates, and true downtown walkability—this one checks all the boxes.
