This beautiful home, with a remodeled separate Carriage House apartment with off- street parking, is located on a handsome corner lot in one of Wilmington's most desirable neighborhoods, the historic Mansion District of Carolina Heights. Known for its stately homes and tree lined streets, this area has served as the backdrop for popular TV shows and movies such as Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, Under the Dome, and A Walk to Remember.
